3 Proven Steps To Become The Deity of Delegation and Generate Massive Results

Leadership is like walking a tightrope (don’t look down).

You have to trust that the person you’ve delegated to will do the job right, but you also can’t stand back and watch.

You have to be there to help, offer support, and ensure things are going according to plan. And depending on what’s at stake and their capability, you’ll give more or less oversight. You, the leader, have to set the standards.

It’s all a balancing act. And the better balance you have, the better leader you’ll become — producing the results that matter.

I’ve failed at delegating so many times.

After fifteen years of growing a successful aerospace business, you think I’d have it together? But it’s challenging. Working with and through other people is the hardest part of managing a successful business.

You’re not just a leader, but you’re a farmer.

You put in the work, water and fertilize and weed, and then wait for the fruits of your labor to come in. You can’t do everything yourself, and you can’t control everything. So you have to trust that your work will produce results, and you have to trust that the people you’ve delegated tasks to will do their part.
