Don’t Fake Delegate

It’s hard to restrain yourself when you are the smartest person in the room.  All the ideas.  All the suggestions from your team.  None of them as smart or as good as the ideas that you would have come up with.  Being the smartest person in the room has its disadvantages when it comes to using true leverage in your business.

You hired employees to make your life easier.  Micro-managing your employees work process and inserting yourself, unnecessarily, into their work costs you more time and effort.  This scenario becomes a disillusioning factor for bosses because hiring employees has made their lives harder not easier.

This week’s New Work Revolution podcast is about fake delegation.  What it is.  What it looks like and why you need to avoid fake delegation.
