Easy Lies the Head that Delegates

I used to be a Do-It-Myself Champion (even evident in the analysis of my love language).

That was how I was piling up work and stress on my desk. I come early and I leave late. Others were adhering to the normal working hours.

I had almost broken down before I realized that I was carrying too much work load. I was not being evaluated based on how much work I could do, but rather how much work I could delegate out which should make me available for other assignments.

I don’t know if I could not trust someone else to do the job. I was almost broken before I asked for help from the team members. Not only did they receive my plea for help with open arms, they were able to do the jobs better than I would have done it considering the workload I had.

The incident that day made me sit back and strategize afresh. Delegating was empowering the team members. Delegating was removing excessive workload from me. Delegating was motivating some of the team members. I felt so much better with delegation.

Is there any excess work you need to get done? Do you need to delegate?
