Is it time to stop feeling guilty about delegating?

Delegation is a fundamental skill in both personal and professional life, yet, for many, the act of delegating is accompanied by a nagging sense of guilt. Usually that you should be able to do it yourself or your team are too busy.

If you are a leader of a team or a business, here are a few good reasons why you SHOULD learn to delegate properly...

1. Your job is to only do what only you can do. Delegate the low skill and low enjoyment tasks. If you are tied up doing admin tasks that anyone could do, who is leading your team or business?

2. You'll empower your team. Let's be honest, no-one likes a control freak boss who doesn't trust them. Delegation provides you with more time and your team with opportunities to grow and develop.

3. You'll reduce the chances of burnout. Don't be the bottleneck through which every task and decision must pass.

There is a right way and a wrong way to delegate , so if you are one of the many people who think it is easier to do it yourself or that no one can do it as good as you - please give me a shout! I'd love to help.

What about you? Are you good at delegating?
