Have you ever found yourself looking at the unfinished projects around your house and thinking "if you want a job done right, you need to do it yourself"? Or maybe it happens at work, when a direct report sends back the document with errors for the second time, and you choke back your frustration, as you wonder why they can't seem to run their own spell check?

Overachievers usually ARE able to do things better, faster, and more easily than others around them. But that also can leave us doing it all – and exhausted and resentful, too.

It's easy enough to tell people "just stop doing everything yourself," but it's very difficult to implement if we don't address the bigger picture: how to work with people who may not do it as well as we do it ourselves.

• The opportunity cost of decisions about how to leverage ourselves
• 1 thing to implement if your team aren't as competent as you need them to be
