Know When to Delegate
Are you really the best person to do this task?
Whether you’re a manager or not, you should always ask yourself one question: am I the right person to do this?
The right person is the one who can handle the task best, using the right skills, in the shortest amount of time. Of course, this only works if the task also aligns with that person’s goals.
If you’re a manager, you can delegate through authority. If you’re not, you’ll need solid arguments to convince someone to help.
When you delegate, be crystal clear about two things:
What is expected (the outcome)
When it’s expected (the deadline)
A competent person will naturally figure out the how.
Learn to delegate.
By assigning the right tasks to the right people, you free up time to focus on what you do best.
