Here’s why you avoid delegating:
- It’ll take too long to explain.
- You might forget something.
- You tried before and it backfired.
You don’t trust yourself to:
- Clearly describe the results you want.
- Assess the outcome.
- Take emotion out of it.
You also don’t trust others:
- They’ve let you down in the past.
- You’ve had to clean up their mistakes.
- It reflects on you when it’s not right.
You’ll never be able to scale with these beliefs.
You can’t do everything. That’s why you have a team—and you’re not delegating enough.
The solution is to learn how to evaluate results.
Most founders do this:
- Notice mistakes.
- Get frustrated.
- Point out the issues.
That’s not evaluating results.
Here’s a 4-step process to evaluate results together. Write down:
- WWW – What Went Well
- WDW – What Didn’t Work
- WDD – What Do Differently
- WDWL – What Did We Learn
Evaluating results isn’t a burden. It’s a power move.
It’s how you master delegation and grow as a leader.
Stop pretending you can do it all. Delegate and evaluate.
It’s how you learn to trust yourself and others.
It’s how you lead.
