We know each and every one of our contributions help shape the future of organizations and the individuals within them.

What's the cost of not delegating?? ? As you take on more work in a leadership role, you may get overwhelmed and stressed. You might even burn out completely ... and quit.? ? Our latest Global Leadership Forecast 2023 research supports this, as 70% of leaders surveyed under the age of 35 report feeling used up at the end of every day, with rates even higher among women and minorities.? ? At the same time, your team is likely also frustrated. They may not feel like they’re contributing enough, nor do they have the authority to do their work as they see fit. They’ll likely end up disengaged — or worse, start looking for another job.? ? But leaders who know how to delegate effectively see beyond just getting a task done. They are empowering others to grow, learn, and do their very best work. And there are some major positive outcomes. Your team members will be:? ? 3.9x more likely to produce innovative/creative outcomes? ? 4.2x more likely to go above their job description? ? 2.2x more likely to be considered high performers? ? 1.9x more likely to have high performance standards? ? Employees often feel more satisfied in their role when they have more authority, which means they’ll be less likely to leave. Most employees thrive in an environment where they have more freedom to grow.? ? Of course, there’s a risk that you can delegate too much. How can you tell? You might see an exhausted and confused team that may push back on assigned work. You’ll also notice that people are missing deadlines to complete work. Or, they may have so many questions about their projects that they just stall out and lack motivation to finish.? ? If you start to see any of these signs, talk to your team about their concerns and consider reallocating projects — or securing more resources.? ? #Burnout #Delegation #LeadershipTips?
