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.

You can delegate authority, but you cannot delegate responsibility.

I have learned to delegate.

I am learning how to delegate and how to empower people.

I either delegate something, I dump it, or I deal with it.

I don't have a problem with delegation. I love to delegate. I am either lazy enough, or busy enough, or trusting enough, or congenial enough, that the notion leaving tasks in someone else's lap doesn't just sound wise to me, it sounds attractive.

The inability to delegate is one of the biggest problems I see with managers at all levels.

The way you delegate is that first you have to hire people that you really have confidence in. You won't truly let those people feel a sense of autonomy if you don't have confidence in them.

I'm not going to suggest to a delegate at what they ought to do.

I trust the people who are working with me. I delegate.
