Leadership
Activity: Letting Go
Think about all of the hats you wear
and responsibilities you carry out. Write down one that you will
gladly delegate to someone else. Think through the process and
review the Delegation Checkpoints below.
Make your own list of specific steps to
take to ensure that the delegation is successful. What information
must you share? What skills must you validate? What training must
you provide?
Now, think of something that you enjoy
doing but know that someone else should do it because 1) it is no
longer one of your top priorities, 2) another person could do it
better, or 3) another will develop the necessary skills through
doing it.
