“I can do it faster myself.” This is true in the short term but devastatingly false long term.
We tell ourselves delegation takes too much time. We believe no one else can do it as well. Underneath it all, we fear losing control or becoming irrelevant. These beliefs feel true because they protect our ego. But they prevent your team from developing and trap you in operational work.
Take Action: Write down your biggest delegation resistance. What are you really afraid will happen? Be honest. Most fears never materialize—but they cost you daily.
