Never put off until tomorrow what you can delegate to someone else today.

What’s the secret to getting more done? Is it:
If you’ve ever hit burnout before, I’m sure you know the right answer.
Sometimes the answer isn’t in doing more, but in having less to do. One of the best ways you can do less, but still get everything done, is delegation.
Delegation magnifies your effort exponentially.
There is a limitation how much work you can personally do. By delegating to others, you gain their abilities, their perspective, and their time. The work you can do through others is much greater than what you can do alone.
In 2014, Gallup studied 143 CEOs in the 500 fastest growing companies. They analyzed their entrepreneurial talent profiles, and compared them with the results they had achieved with their companies over the past three years. They found that high-delegators averaged 1751% growth, twice the low-delegators in the group. The high-delegators generated 33% more revenue, and created more jobs at a faster rate.

“When you delegate tasks, you create followers. When you delegate authority, you create leaders.” ? Craig Groeschel
My attitude towards delegation changed when I heard Loral Langmeier say, “Millionaires don’t do their own laundry.” It completely reframed how I looked at my chores, which are an essential (and unpaid) part of my work.
How much is your time worth per hour? If you are doing a task that you can delegate for a cheaper rate, you are losing money by doing it yourself.
The next time you make a to-do list, add a ‘D’ next to anything that you could delegate to someone else. Just by acknowledging the tasks on your list that could be delegated, you will get in the habit of sharing the workload, and getting more done by doing less.
Delegation frees you to focus on high-impact activities.

3 个月I recall becoming embroiled in a discussion about anger management. When I was asked, I suggested that the best way is to delegate. Dumping the problem onto someone else to deal with is good advice when they're able to resolve it. It's not good advice when they haven't a clue and find it stressful. Successful businesses have one thing in common - the founder(s) had a dream which they transformed into reality. As they weren't able to deal with everything necessary, they hired people for the tasks that they didn't want to do themselves. Employing is risky: the employer buys the employee's skills and talent plus all the emotional baggage that comes with it. in particular, employers should avoid employing resentment. Founders are free to do?as they like; employees are not. Employees who resent the freedom that bosses enjoy are prone to taking out their annoyance by sabotaging the relationship between the business and its customers. To identify whether resentment is lurking, ask about the person's politics. If they're into work-life balance, they just want a job, so they won't have the stamina to contribute to the success of the business, as their mind will be on watching the clock. Teamwork requires a single-mindedness.

3 个月Great points Caelan. Love the quote from Craig Groeschel. I just saw Craig speak at the Global Leadership Summit. A key I have found in delegation is giving clear communication with a schedule of how you will inspect what you expect. Keep up your great work!
