Does this sound
familiar? You talk to your clients for 8 hours straight; yet when you have to
write the ‘About Us’ section for your website, you’re at a loss for words? Or
you devise excellent strategies for your business’s future, but when you have
to capture the past month’s financial data you feel absolutely drained?
The Purpose of Delegation
“To enable you to focus on what you do best in
order to maximize your impact“ Michael Hyatt, author and speaker on Intentional Leadership
There are certain
jobs that you simply enjoy and excel in more than others. And some jobs that
just tap your energy to no end. The truth is we all do certain things well and
others things not so well. It’s like your grandma said, ”Jack of all trades,
master of none.”
If you want
to:
·
Be happier
·
Be more productive
·
Deliver quality work
·
Increase your impact
Then you have to
ensure you are doing those tasks that energize and excite you. This is called
operating in your ‘strengths zone’. When you function in your strength
zone you will be more productive and deliver better quality work and
consequently you will have maximum impact in your business, your community, the
world…
Why delegate?
Delegation allows
you to focus on what you’re good at and someone else to take care of the things
you’re not so good at. It allows you to spend the majority of your time in your
strength zone. In reality you are increasing your impact, by letting go, by
letting others help you.
If you think about
it, NOT delegating is NOT an option. It’s simply not sustainable! Our resources
are finite. We don’t have unlimited time and unlimited energy and the sooner we
embrace this fact and work around it, the better off we’ll be.
It is true that
no-one can do your job as well as you do. I am confirming your suspicion! But,
it’s like Action coach, Michael Andrews always says, “No-one can do your job as
well as you do. But two people’s 80% is still better than your 100%.”For more information visit us:-http://www.adminassist.co.za
