Anyone else have a hard time with delegating to others?  Learning to lead a team is a whole new skill.

In fact, many of the traits that bring success as a solopreneur - a touch of perfectionism, wanting control over the business, being 'in the weeds' on every aspect of what you do - actually make growing beyond yourself more difficult!

What got you here won't get you there.

But this is a skill set that you can learn - it doesn't have to be trial and error.  And if you want to grow, you'll have to get better at this.  The three biggest mistakes we see with delegation:

• Not delegating at all.  If you've found yourself saying "no one can do it as well as I can' or "Well, I'm used to doing it...' or 'It would be more trouble to find someone' you're often in this category.
• Abdicating responsibility.  This is when you just throw a problem at someone else like a hot potato.  
• Purgatory of micromanagement.  The worst of both worlds - you barely allow yourself to delegate, and then look over the shoulder of your person as they do the work.  Y

Instead, three things that make delegation work:

1.  Choose wisely what to delegate.  Spend time to decide what you can - and can't - delegate.

2.  Support your people!  This is where onboarding and training is so important.  Make sure you're giving someone the tools they need to be successful.

3.  Accountability.  You need to have a metric or way to determine if it's going well!  If you're just giving a task and hoping it gets done, you aren't really delegating.

We hope this helps!  Leading a team is a brand new challenge for most of us, but it can be fun, rewarding and certainly vital if we ever want to grow.
