How To Delegate In The Workplace

I can sympathise with the view that if you want a job done properly then you should do it yourself. It can be hard to let go and trust someone else with something that others may judge you upon. Another school of thought says that if you have a dog you don't bark yourself. You wouldn't send your team to the pub and work long into the night just to do everything yourself. So should you do it all yourself or should you give all the work to someone else? Neither! You should learn to properly delegate which is a happy compromise. It is impossible to do everything yourself and you may not have the skill set necessary to do so. It is therefore practical to balance your time and workload by finding people to help you. Use well trained, competent staff who can be trusted with tasks. Let them show you how well they can handle things while at the same time keeping some appropriate tasks for yourself and assuming a guidance and overseer role.
