I'm a people manager, won't people think I'm lazy if I delegate?

No one deserves a rubbish boss! It's that simple!

In this episode, we talk about "I need to delegate, but I don't know how to do it, without people thinking I'm shirking."


Delegation plays a vital role in achieving success and maximising productivity. By effectively assigning tasks and responsibilities to others, individuals and organisations can leverage their collective strengths, expertise, and resources.

Delegation allows leaders to focus on strategic decision-making and high-level priorities whilst empowering team members to develop new skills and take ownership of their work. It promotes collaboration, fosters a sense of shared responsibility, and ultimately leads to increased efficiency and improved outcomes.

Delegation cultivates a culture of trust, respect, and professional growth, enabling individuals and teams to flourish and reach their full potential, so why do only 30% of leaders actually delegate well? How can you delegate more effectively?
