Of course I want Premium and VIP members because that's business, but the majority of Skool communities thrive every day from the value that is given for free. So, here is a sample of my COMPLETELY FREE 52 Frustrations of High Performers: Frustration #21 Why do I keep taking over instead of delegating? ❔You ask someone to do something.❔ 🏃🏼➡️They start.🏃🏼➡️ ↗️They take a different route.⤵️ 🤷🏼They ask a question you think they should already know.🤷🏼 🐌They do it more slowly than you would.🐌 And somewhere around that point... you take it back. “It'll be quicker if I just do it myself.” In the short term, you're probably right because High Performers can become extremely efficient at rescuing tasks. - You spot the problem. - Know what needs doing. - Jump in. - Fix it. - Job done. The trouble is that every time you do that, you may also be teaching everyone around you something. Wait long enough and I'll take over. Delegation often feels inefficient at the beginning because you're not only trying to get the task done. You're allowing someone else to learn how to get it done, and learning is usually slower than doing. That can feel unbearable when you're used to moving quickly, but if you're always the fastest route to completion, you can quietly become the route everything has to travel through. One thing to take away Doing it faster yourself can create a much slower organisation around you. So instead of asking: “What's the quickest way to get this done?” try asking: “Do I want this task finished, or do I want someone else to become capable of finishing it?” Sometimes that means allowing: - a different approach. - a few mistakes. - more questions. - slower progress. - imperfect first few attempts. - someone else to own the outcome. - Delegation isn't always about saving time today. Sometimes it's about stopping yourself from being necessary ingredient tomorrow. Your turn What do you regularly take back from someone else because watching them do it feels slower than doing it yourself?
