? Match the task to the person's skills: Choose someone with the necessary expertise to handle the delegated task effectively. ? Clearly communicate expectations: Provide clear instructions, deadlines, and desired outcomes. ? Empower your team: Give them the authority to make decisions within the scope of the task. ? Provide feedback and support: Regularly check in to offer guidance and address any challenges.

Many people struggle with delegation because they have a core belief that "it will just be faster if I do it than to train them and answer their questions". It will be slower the first 7 times, but how often do you repeat that task in a week? A month? A year? If you are repeating a task multiple times through a year, you should evaluate if that task should be delegated. The task taking slightly more time out of you 7 times is better than you having to continue to do the task 100+ more times.

Delegate repetitive, time-consuming tasks like data entry, scheduling, and email filtering. Keep high-impact decisions and critical tasks for yourself. Trust your team, provide clear instructions, and focus on what moves the needle!

I used to believe that if I wanted something done right I should just do it myself. But as my workload kept growing some of the small repetitive tasks started taking time that could be better spent. So I just decided to delegate some tasks to someone whom I could train and then check in with them from time to time to check their progress and make sure that nothing fell through the cracks.
