Are You Dropping the Ball with Delegation?
Welcome back to Small Business School! It’s mid-summer at the time of recording this and if you’re anything like me, you’re balancing the hustle of business with making those all-important summer memories. But as the pace picks up for the fall, it's time to ask: Are you delegating what needs to be delegated? Let’s dive into how you can lighten your load and set your business up for success!
Topics Covered:
- The trap of doing it all; we often fall into adding "just one more thing" to our plates, thinking it’ll be quicker. But this habit can cause tasks to slip through the cracks.
- Weekly to-do list audit to ensure you’re delegating tasks that others could handle, freeing you up to focus on the bigger picture.
- Instead of micromanaging, ask your team what they have on their plate and when they can realistically complete new tasks. This approach builds ownership and accountability.
- Spend time teaching your team how to do tasks correctly. It might take more time upfront, but it pays off when they can perform tasks independently and efficiently.
- With summer wrapping up and fall on the horizon, now’s the time to create systems and ensure your team is ready for the busier months ahead.
Are you delegating what you need to be delegating? Take a moment to assess your workload this week and see where you can delegate. Your team will thrive, and so will your business!
