275: Why You Need to Empower Employees Through Delegation

December 07, 2020

Don’t try and do everything yourself because you can’t. —Anthea Turner

On Today’s Episode:
* Carla and I dive into the importance of delegation
* Three big reasons people have a hard time delegating
* The best advice I ever got around A players and delegation
* How I set up, in writing, a system for delegating
I always thought of delegation as dumping responsibilities. But as I have grown in my career and leadership, I have learned that delegation is part of the art of leading and a key ingredient in a recipe for success. And, to boot, it empowers your team by giving them an opportunity to explore new areas, building trust between delegator and delegatee, and increasing efficiency of the team by playing to everyone’s strengths. Tune in now to hear more about how delegation has transformed Carla and my leadership!
