5 Reasons Why I Chose to Leverage the Power of Delegation
1. To develop my team
2. To create a benchmark for employee performance
Delegating helps you establish the baseline performance in the team and recognize who is ready for more challenges.
3. To earn trust and motivate your team
Delegating creates an impression on your team. They know you trust them enough to have them do some of your responsibilities, which acts as a huge motivator. My assistants at work are always excited to pick up more roles because it gives both of us a platform to provide feedback and learn.
4. To focus on your career progression
5. To always win
Summing it all up
So my advice to my fellow professionals: take the time to know your team, train and delegate, give feedback and develop your team. A leader that delegates always wins.
