The art of delegating: 6 tips for IT leaders

For some leaders, delegating is difficult. There’s a voice in your head that says, “I’ll do it myself. It will be faster. It will be right.” That voice helped you get into your current role. But it will be, eventually, your undoing. According to David Giannetto, CEO of WorkWave, this voice is often loud in the minds of leaders because you know you can wrap your head around the details, see what needs to happen next, and get it done. “But as your role gets bigger, you will hit a point where that’s not possible anymore,” he says. “You’ll get overwhelmed. And when that happens, you need to have people around you that you can trust. You need to surround yourself with people who have earned your confidence.”
