Delegating is such a valuable tool because it not only makes things run more smoothly in the workplace but also because it makes our own work lives easier. Savvy leaders understand that when they encourage their employees to be independent and make decisions on their own they are helping them grow. When employees feel like they can take anything on and won't be second guessed or micromanaged there's no limit to what they can do. Great tips.

I think we sometimes wish we could delegate more to have more time for our real value adding work, but I know for me the biggest hurdle is my perception of the time it will take to delegate the task.
