Delegating
3Apr2004 Filed under: news Author: Marcia HansenJulie Morganstern’s 4 Rules for Sane Delegating
1. Break the habit of total self-reliance. You’re not the only person who can or wants to do a good job.
2. Off-load one skill at a time. A gradual approach keeps both delegatee and delegator from being overwhelmed.
3. Establish a clear division of labor. This way nothing gets done twice or slips through the cracks.
4. Be precise about your goals, but keep an open mind about how you reach them. Engage your team members’ creativity — you might gain from their fresh approaches.

I admit I have a Type A personality, although I’ve learned how to delegate, mostly. I still need to watch myself and not create situations of overwhelm.
