Narrator: What do we have here? A one person band. It looks like hard work trying to play all those instruments and must take a phenomenal amount of effort and energy to carry them around. Keep your balance, keep your timing, remember all those notes and when they should be played, it's busy, right? And tiring just thinking about it.
So why do people put themselves in this position at work?
Perhaps they believe they can do it all or worry that they might lose control if they hand off tasks to someone else. But delegation doesn't have to be difficult. It's all about using the combined power of the people around you.
You can start delegating by matching your team's talents to tasks. Think about what they're good at, what they like to do and how they want to develop.
When you delegate effectively, you'll be transformed from a clunky one-person band, to a harmonious symphonic orchestra. You're still responsible for the music, but as a conductor, you can focus more on hitting your team's goals and objectives and you'll be able to create new opportunities for learning.
So, stop banging your own drum and delegate your way to being a brilliant conductor today.
