Maybe it's time to delegate

For some, balance is nearly impossible because of one main barrier:  the feeling that we have to do it all ourselves.

Afraid of less than perfection; the need to be in control; or the unwillingness to make the investment in others - these are things which feed the need to do it all personally.

MindTools.com has a section of their website devoted to the process of delegation.  Delegation is one of the hallmarks of a balanced individual.  They know what to delegate, when to delegate, and to whom.

Here is some of what you will find on MindTools.com:

• Understand the benefits of delegation: It grants you more time.  It allows those around you to grow and develop.

• Prepare well for delegation.  Steps such as being specific about the task being delegated; matching the job to the right person, and maintaining a good system for feedback and communication - all lead to success.

When we do it all, we fail to serve strong.  But when we learn to let go of what others are gifted to do (and really should do), we free up our space to serve strong.
