Common Myths About Delegation

Delegation can help you to achieve better results as a leader or manager. Yet many managers still often buy into one or more of the following myths about delegation:

    Myth 1: It takes a long time to do

  • The reality is that it is a one off investment of time that pays back quickly.
  • Myth 2: People will let you down

  • The reality is that if you give people the chance, they will almost always rise to the challenge.
  • Myth 3: You can do it quicker

  • Maybe you can but the question is what are you not doing instead that might stop you from getting results?
  • Myth 4: People might do it better than you and show you up

  • You’re right, they might, which goes to show that you should not be doing it in the first place.
  • Myth 5: You will delegate yourself out of your job

  • Not at all, you will create more time to do what you should really be doing.

The reality is that delegation can be the catalyst to delivering better performance. So what stops you?
