TRANSCRIPT
Are you one of those people who is busy all the time yet still holds onto everything?
Hi, this is Grant Herbert, Leadership and Sustainable Performance Coach, and today I want to help you get faster results by shifting from do to through.
We all work in a fast-paced world where there's always so much to do, and it never seems to stop. As a leader, there comes a point in your career where you need to balance getting things done yourself and getting things done through other people.
Delegation is not a dirty word, but it is one that is often misunderstood.
The biggest element that stops you from delegating to others are those 3 universal fears: the fear of not belonging, the fear of not being enough, and the fear of not being liked or loved. What you do is paint a picture in your inner dialogue that says, "If I give that to someone else and they don't do it well, I'll be judged for that."
The key element of this shift is trust. It is about getting to a position where you trust yourself and trust other people to represent you well. The second thing we will look at is process. There is a particular way to delegate tasks to others so they can get them done effectively.
We are going to talk about how you can shift from delegation altogether to development, which is a key element of your role as a leader.
Being able to redistribute the workload in your team has a dramatic effect on the results you can all achieve together. I'll see you then.
