This week’s resource is BELAY’s brand new Delegate to Elevate ebook – packed with information to help you accomplish more by juggling less.
Access NowIn the first of a two-part episode about delegation, LZ and BELAY’s Director of Marketing, Amy Appleton, will share how a leader can know when it’s time to start delegating, the obstacles they’ll face, and how to develop trust with other team members (i.e. contractors, employees, etc.).
They’ll also talk about the myth of the “Superhero ideology” and why “I’m fine” just doesn’t always cut it.
When you delegate, it allows you to multiply your efforts, capacity, and results as a leader. Even more, it allows you to develop and empower other people. Delegating effectively frees you up to do what you are the best at doing without staying caught up in the weeds.
If people are always waiting on you, and there’s 20 other things that still need to be done, then it’s time to find a way to pass that responsibility onto someone else. You should trust the people that you’ve hired, so allow them to blossom and grow by passing off the things that you simply cannot do anymore.
If someone can do the job 70% as good as you can, it’s time to hand that job off. That is an opportunity to teach someone else how to do it, knowing that their 70% will get better. It might take a little time, but this will free you up in the long run.
Today on the podcast, we have a special episode courtesy of our friends at the Maxwell Leadership Podcast. BELAY CFO Lisa Zeeveld sat down with Mark Cole recently to co-host an episode of the Maxwell Leadership Podcast about how to get time back as a leader.
In this Bonus Next Step, Tricia and LZ share how to identify and prioritize your most important emails so they don’t get lost in the mix.
Communication is a critical part of leadership. But managing email can be tedious and frustrating for busy leaders. In this episode, Tricia and LZ will discuss their strategies for email management and reaching “inbox zero.” Leaders will get new ideas about how to manage email, how Tricia and LZ delegate to their virtual assistants, how they prioritize their emails, and a lot more!
