Three Inevitable Outcomes When Leaders Refuse to Delegate

IN THIS NEW BLOG SERIES, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT DELEGATION.

Here’s a preview of part 1. Click to read all the details.

SUMMARY:
Leaders who are unable or unwilling to delegate to others destroy organizational and personal potential.

No leader does this on purpose, but without a clear delegation plan, the results are inevitable.

As an organization grows, so does the complexity and the need for capacity. No leader has enough ability to lead a growing organization alone indefinitely. A lack of delegation leads to unavoidable results:

1. Leadership burnout
2. Organizational stagnation
3. Staff departures

I assume you don’t want an organization small enough to be managed alone. I doubt you want your best leaders to find other organizations where they can thrive. And I know you don’t want to burn out along the way.

Not to oversimplify these leadership dilemmas, but delegation is a massive part of the answer.
