Are you feeling overwhelmed with work? Many businesses are right now due to the massive desire our clients are having to control where and how they live since we are spending more time at home. On this podcast we are going to discuss how to delegate work without dumping it. There is a difference, and you might be surprised to know many of us thought we were delegating work when really, we were just dumping it off on our teammates. Let’s break this down together.

To educate means to give information that someone needs to do the job. We can accomplish this by having standard operating procedures. Michele (04:49)
When we equip our team members, we are now giving them the tools they need to accompany the education we have provided. Michele (05:21)
This is a good time to do active listening to ensure you both agree on what needs to be done and the boundaries and expectations around it. Michele (07:12)
Simply stated, get out of the way. Let your team member do the work. Michele (07:56)
When we actively, with intention, delegate something to someone – we need to be their cheerleader. Michele (09:15)
