Sharing is Caring: How Well Do You Delegate?

Many of us like to stay in control at work (wherever that may be!). However, holding on to too much can lead to us feeling stressed, anxious, and over-worked. But we can prevent this through the key managerial skill of delegation.


We might not choose to delegate tasks because it feels like we're losing responsibility, or passing the buck. But, done properly, it can free up time for us to work on our most important tasks - while empowering your team members to learn and grow.


How well do you think you delegate? Take the Mind Tools quiz to find out.
