Don’t Do It Yourself

Source: www.charlesandhudson.com

Sometimes it’s better not to do it yourself. I’ve been coming up against my limits repeatedly in the last couple of weeks, and have found delgation to be both necessary and a big challenge. Some issues I’ve had have included (sorry Cheryl!):

• Not knowing which work was best for delegation
• Waiting too long to delegate
• Too busy to adequately explain how to do the work
• A feeling of being overwhelmed
• Disorganization (which leads to more “doing it yourself” until you get a breather)

But I soldier on, trying to master this elusive skill. Delegation is the lever with which to move the work. As they say, “many hands make light work.”
