Delegating work works, provided the one delegating works, too.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Delegating doesn't mean passing off work you don't enjoy, but letting your employees stretch their skills and judgment.
I believe in delegating power.
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'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.
Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone.
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.
When you delegate work to the member of the team, your job is to clearly frame success and describe the objectives.
I trust the people who are working with me. I delegate.
I'm not going to suggest to a delegate at what they ought to do.
You can delegate authority, but you cannot delegate responsibility.
