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.

The Secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda– John Maxwell

Okay in today’s post I will like to talk to you on the importance of ‘Today’. Dr. John Maxwell wrote a book called Today Matters and if you do not have a copy of that book I strongly recommend that you get it because he shares a lot of wisdom you can apply in your daily life in order to achieve success tomorrow.

You see if we want to achieve success tomorrow, we need to take action today because what we do today is what will determine what happens tomorrow. Someone once said that yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift which is why we call it the present! So what are you doing with ‘Today’.

Are you using it wisely or just going with the flow? Just allowing time to just fly by and take its course on its own. We need to use today wisely. Anyone who wants to achieve anything tomorrow will have to use the days before the tomorrow to achieve the results. We look at those Olympic Athletes that take the stage every 4 years and when we see a Usain Bolt or other great athlete, we wonder how they got so strong.

It’s all because they took advantage of today!! For years upon years they have been training and practising each day for the olympics and they had to make each day count in order to become as good as they are. That’s why they become so great. It’s not because of talent or ability but it’s because of dedication to a cause that needs to be prepared for each and every day and they needed to make each day count. We see the glory but we don’t know the story!!!

If someone takes an axe and just strikes it 5 times each day on a tree, it will eventually fall down. The day that it falls down is not the greatest day but it was the combination of striking the tree 5 times each day that cause it to tumble down!!

So my question to you is what are you doing with ‘Today’. Are you using it wisely? Remember that Today Matters and if you want to be successful start taking action today and each day after that and in due season your ‘harvest time’ will appear and everyone will be asking themselves how did you get to become so great and you will just simply reply that ‘Today Matters’!!!
