Delegating work works, provided the one delegating works, too.

I'm going from doing all of the work to having to delegate the work - which is almost harder for me than doing the work myself. I'm a lousy delegator, but I'm learning.

I'm a true believer that you have a moral obligation to keep your employees honest, and that is why you have controls, so I'm never tempted or put in a position where I could do something to defraud my employer.

I'm very good at delegating - people work much better when they have a real sense of responsibility. But at the same time, I don't like surprises. I don't pore over every shoot, but I do like to be aware at all times of what's going on.

I believe in delegating power.

I think it's undignified if you don't do your job.

Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone.

I don't think I should penalize people who were doing their duty.

There is no labor a person does that is undignified; if they do it right.

You always hear about delegation, but people make the mistake of delegating and not following up. I give authority, but I stay in touch. Otherwise it doesn't work.
