A good leader does not put off till tomorrow what he can get others to do today — John Maxwell
Today I want to share with you why every leader must delegate if they want to be successful.
You cannot do everything yourself. You are not a super human with all the skills/talents. You need to rely on your workers to help achieve the goals of the organisation.
You need to write down everything that you know that only you can do. You cannot delegate these things.
Now I want you to write down all the different tasks that you need assistance in. These are things that you delegate.
Now that you have this list, you should write down the list of people in your company who can assist in these areas.
Train them to do it so you will not be majoring in on minor things. As a leader you have a lot of things to do but there are many things that you ought not to do because you are not qualified to do them. Delegate those areas to people under you. I am sure if you try out this strategy you will have a lot more time on your hands to major on major things.
Let me know what you thought about this by leaving a comment below.
A leader is not hired to do everything. He is hired to get everything done and that means involving people in the process and in the planning.

It’s true about delegation. However, some leaders either abuse this or simply are weak. After delegation, some leaders went on to play golf, vacation etc. This will create tension and unhappiness to the team members. Before delegation, respect must be earned.
I ever encounter someone who thinks he’s a leader, sitting in the management but really do not have enough experience to run a business. His ideas are very naive. He couldn’t do simple things right. He couldn’t gain the respect of the team. Basically smart people wants to follow those who are smarter. Smart people wants to follow those who can get things done, not those who has an MBA but get nothing done.
wow you brought some interesting points there. Thanks for sharing
