Delegation: why it doesn't work and what to do

Do you live in a constant time pressure and do not have time for anything, have problems with sleep and decreased concentration? Most likely, this means that it is time to master delegation. And the sooner, the better, until you finally collapse into emotional burnout, do not lose your taste for work and life in general.





But as they say, it's easy to say. In practice, not everyone succeeds in mastering delegation. Even obvious leaders and natural leaders have difficulties. According to a study by London Business School professor John Hunt, only 10% of managers delegate authority and do it successfully.





In the article, we will understand why delegation is not easy, how to solve emerging problems and, finally, free yourself from routine for more important strategic tasks.





Why delegation is so important

When a person starts his own business, in the first couples he often does everything himself, if this is not a new project of an accomplished entrepreneur who has a team or sufficient capital to immediately assemble it. The owner himself calculates taxes, maintains document circulation, and is engaged in the main production activity. Over time, he hires an accountant, secretary, salesperson and delegates some of the functions to them.





Usually, delegation is viewed in the context of leaders and top management of organizations. However, this skill is also useful for ordinary specialists who have at least one assistant subordinate to them. And also for freelancers and self-employed people who would like to scale their income.
