Fake delegation is a common problem where leaders micromanage or take tasks back. Proper delegation is crucial for business growth and team productivity. Clarity is key in delegation to avoid confusion and inefficiency. Leaders should focus on higher-level tasks and delegate administrative work. Micromanagement erodes trust, while empowerment builds trust and encourages autonomy. Being a bottleneck boss slows down growth and hinders productivity. Cultivating confidence in team members is important for their development and risk-taking. Leaders should communicate expectations clearly and provide feedback for growth. Confronting unspoken challenges and addressing silent overload is necessary for effective delegation and team success.
