Episode 80: The Emotional Side of Delegating

Send us Fan MailThis week I had the pleasure of speaking with Jenny Mitchell, a leadership coach, to better understand the emotional side of delegating and why we struggle with outsourcing.Complicated emotions surround delegation, and being aware of the ones you struggle with is the first step to recovery.Fear is ultimately what holds us back from delegating. It could be the fear of not getting the accolades you used to get; it could be the fear of someone not doing it right; it could be the fear of someone doing it better than you would have. These fears are valid and normal—but working through them is critical! Identify what's holding you back, then delegate so you can focus on adding value.
