    Delegation Caddy

    The skill of delegation is essential for effective time mangers to master. Delegation of tasks enables a busy person to free up valuable time and energy. It is, by definition, the ability to appoint someone else to act on your behalf.

    Instructions: Place a check mark by any of the statements that you consider to be reasons not to delegate your tasks.

    *  I should be able to do it by myself.

    *  It has to be perfect.

    *  Other people can’t do it all.

    *  Delegating is a cop out. It’s only for disorganized people.

    *  I feel guilty asking someone else.

    *  It would take longer to explain how I want it done than to do it myself.

    *  People will think that I’m not capable of this job.

    *  I’d be giving up my power.

    All of the above statements are popular myths about delegation. They demonstrate a need to better understand the benefits of delegation.
