I had to delegate authority to the people on my staff. That means you shave away the hierarchy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've been used to being my own boss for a really long time, so I don't take to authority very well.
You can delegate authority, but you cannot delegate responsibility.
I created no authority that wasn't already there under the constitution.
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.
I wasn't good with authority, went to lots of schools, didn't like the fact that there was no autonomy.
But because our organization has grown so much and in so many different ways, the delegation process places responsibility and authority on the shoulders of people you can watch grow and watch the way they treat others.
I've always had trouble with authority.
I trust the people who are working with me. I delegate.
People are always casting me for what they call my 'authority.'
I've always had a problem with authority. That's why I had to be my own boss.
