Embrace the power of delegation!

As professionals, we often fall into the trap of wanting to do everything ourselves. It’s human nature, but it’s not sustainable or efficient.

Learning to delegate tasks effectively can be an absolute game-changer for your career and personal life.

1. Identify tasks that can be delegated
There’s no need for you to handle every single task on your plate. List down tasks that others can handle just as well or even better than you.

2. Choose the right person
Ensure the person you delegate a task to has the right skill set and understands the desired outcome.

3. Communicate clearly
Be clear about your expectations and provide all necessary information for a smooth process.

4. Trust and let go
Give them enough space to work on the task independently while still being available for guidance when needed.

Delegating effectively will not only free up time for you to focus on more critical aspects of your job, but it also helps in building trust among team members and empowers them in their roles. So, let go of the urge to control everything and embrace the power of delegation!

Budgets instead of Estimates

Budgets instead of Estimates Estimating a feature is difficult and is often a guess (or even a lie). An Estimate is for a fixed scope. So, you need to think deeply how to implement the feature, before giving an Estimate. The business can then use the Estimate to...
