Delegating: It's Actually About Managing Yourself


Listen Later

Delegating work isn’t just about handing off tasks—it’s about fostering growth, maximizing team productivity, and elevating your leadership impact. Yet, many managers find it challenging to delegate work while maintaining high standards for the deliverables. In this episode of The Manager Track podcast, Ramona Shaw dives into the art of effective delegation and the mindset shifts needed to make it work.


Join Ramona as she breaks down the strategies behind clear communication, trust-building, and balancing team development with personal growth.


Key topics include:

- The power of identifying least and most valuable activities (LVAs & MVAs)

- Building team accountability and trust

- Recognizing and overcoming delegation challenges

- Developing self-management and letting go of control

- Monitoring progress without micromanaging

- Fostering team growth through clarity and constructive feedback


This episode is your guide to delegating effectively without letting your fears, worries, or desires for control, comfort, or recognition get the best of you.
