"...you need to focus only on the items that add the most value to your organization. In general, these are the things that you, and only you, are capable of doing."

 

 

Five Steps to Effectively Delegate

 

1. Identify the Right Person for Delegation

2. Clearly Define the Project

3. Discuss the Plan of Action or How the Task Can Be Accomplished

4. Have Them Repeat Back the Plan

5. Monitor Progress and Provide Feedback (Longer-Term Tasks)

Effective delegation makes you replaceable, and although it sounds a bit strange, this is what you want. It allows you to spend time growing--rather than simply maintaining--your business.
