Have you ever found it challenging to delegate tasks? As a former wide receiver, I can relate. It’s like trying to catch, run, and block for yourself in a football game- seemingly impossible. Coaches, however, trust other players and delegate roles. I’ll be honest, I struggle with delegating due to my perfectionist nature. But, I’m actively working to improve in this area. So, I asked myself, ‘How can leaders learn to delegate when they’re used to doing everything themselves?’ I discovered that the first step is to define what can be delegated—starting with simple tasks or some marginally complex ones. Then, through this process, determine the right oversight, if needed, to ensure the project is completed orderly. In this scenario, as a leader, you’ll gain your followers’ trust and learn that they can be trusted too.
