33 / 365 Delegate without Abdicating
Surround yourself
with the best people you can find, delegate authority, and don't
interfere.
Ronald Reagan
Do you complain that
you don’t have time? If you do, you are bluffing! All of us have equal amount
of time, irrespective of any social, racial or economic differences. Successful
people find time for the most important things, which will make a big
difference in their life by practicing the art of effective delegation, which
is a very important managerial skill.
You cannot do
everything by yourself. Today, list all the activities you normally do on a
typical day and analyse them with respect to the following categories:
1. Things which you have to do and should not be
delegated.
2. Things you should do with the help of some one.
3. Things which others should do with your help and
guidance.
4. Things which others should do and you should not
interfere.
5. Things which need not be done at all.
After making this
distinction, stick to the same for a month and notice a steep jump in your
productivity!
When you delegate,
you should still take responsibility for the work, or it will be abdication and
not delegation!
