Leadership growth requires the expansion of capacity, not just in terms of the number of tasks one person can perform, but also in the ability to delegate effectively. True growth for leaders is the awareness that responsibilities must shift as they climb the ranks. This realization is pivotal to moving from an individual contributor to an empowering leader who achieves high performance through others.
Effective leaders increase their capacity for high performance by committing to delegate key tasks to others.
Reflect on your own approach to delegation. Does it come naturally or is it a struggle? What adjustments can you make in order to grow your capacity to lead?
