Learning the delicate art of delegation usually requires a lot practice and patience. It's a fine dance of constant refinement and adjustment to find the perfect balance of effective delegation that allows you to take your business to the next level.
Any successful business relies on a team structure for growth and efficiency. While one person may be able to do a lot, it’s not possible for one person to do everything, and at some point, a team structure is a necessity. Team members can be in the same office, virtual employees, or independent contractors. You have options.
As you may or may not know, people who work with me learn to focus their time on only the highest pay-off activities in order to help them reach their goals faster. So, what do these people do to accomplish these less important tasks? They delegate.
Many of the tasks that take up the bulk of our time are not the tasks that are pushing us toward our goals. Think about your daily routine for a moment. How would your life be improved if someone else handled these “low-pay off tasks,” freeing up your time to take on more important matters?
Make a list of the tasks that you currently handle that could be delegated to someone else. List the activity you would delegate and who you would assign that task to. If you do not have a “real” person who you could delegate the task to, write down the job title of a fictitious person.
Each time you are doing something, ask yourself if this is something that can be delegated to someone else or are you the only person who can do it. You may have to help coach or train someone but could someone else do what you are doing. If the answer is yes, add it to the list of things that can be delegated. If you can’t delegate it now for whatever the reason, at least when you have someone to delegate to, you have now will have a list of activities that can be delegated.
You may want to begin creating your list now.
