This month’s leadership quote:
“Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I’ll understand.“
-Chinese Proverb
We are often reminded that the key to successful leadership is successful delegation. And yet, many of us struggle with making delegation stick. I hear responses, like
- It takes too long; I may as well do it myself
- I can’t get my team to take ownership
- When I delegate, it doesn’t get done right
While there may be other reasons for these results, I wonder if one might be, we are too often telling and showing? And, if we changed that ratio to more involving, if we might see different results?
The initial results of my Pivot are excellent. I feel I have much greater clarity regarding the next 3-5 years..
