Delegation in Business (2 of 4)

Knowing the benefits of delegation in increasing overall productivity is one thing, but actually beginning to do it is another. There are many reasons people come up with to avoid delegating, but when looked at with regard to the potential upside, none of them stand up to scrutiny.

As you begin delegating tasks, you will come across a number of challenges and obstacles you will need to overcome. The first of these is your own mental blocks as a manager, which will be discussed in this resource.

In this video, we again hear from self-made millionaire Brian Tracy. He discusses the myths associated with a delegation that stop many managers from beginning to do it, given the benefits.

The five main misconceptions about delegation that you should take note of are:

1. It is too time-consuming
2. The employee isn’t competent enough
3. The only way to do something right is to do it yourself
4. People will think you are incompetent if you delegate too much
5. If you are good at something, you should do it yourself.
