Why You Won’t Delegate

When we DELEGATE in our professional or personal lives, we ask or request that other people take on tasks or responsibilities. 

 

In “How To Delegate Effectively: 9 Tips for Managers,” by Lauren Landry of the Harvard Business School, there are 6 main reasons why people won’t delegate. They:

 

• think it would take longer to explain the task than actually completing it themselves. 
• want to feel indispensable.
• enjoy completing certain projects so prefer not to reassign them.
• feel guilty about adding more work onto another employee’s to-do list.
• lack confidence or trust in who they need to transfer the project to. 
• believe that they’re the only ones who can do the job right. 

 

Keep this in mind when considering what to delegate:
