Most business owners and managers are poor delegators, and the lack of either the willingness or ability to effectively delegate tasks to subordinates, is actually holding their businesses back and delaying the development of a broader base of skills within the business. Delegating effectively, requires both the willingness to let go and the knowledge of how to manage the delegation process, so that the required outcomes are achieved and the business owner or manager can reduce their daily workload and be more strategic with the use of their time. This excellent article, suggests that it is time leaders dropped their excuses for failing to delegate to their subordinates, and it explains how to stop making excuses and get on with delegating as a means of workload reduction and a key component in employee development.
