Adaptive Leadership

What Is Delegation?

Lead­ers often find that they don’t have enough hours in a day to do every­thing they may want or need to do. Work­ing more hours isn’t sus­tain­able in the long term. A bet­ter way is to take some tasks off of our plate through del­e­ga­tion. Learn the ben­e­fits of del­e­ga­tion, com­mon rea­sons lead­ers fail to del­e­gate, and the keys to get­ting start­ed with delegation.
