A recurring common theme for managers, leaders, supervisors and team leaders is the desire to do more delegating. But trust, ego, fear, control and perfection can get in the way - and many say 'its just quicker to do it myself' which might be true for the first 5 times, but not 50 times. Rather than seeing delegation as a negative or something to feel guilty about, for many it is the first step to feeling trusted and empowered in their work. Changing our mindset, language and beliefs around delegating can transform team morale, time management and life/work balance.
