Delegate Carefully

29 Jan 2015

While running a business or teams, we delegate a lot of responsibilities to individuals in our company. Over delegation can be counter productive and stressful if not managed carefully.

While management gurus suggest to delegate almost everything, I differ and don't recommend that to technical entrepreneurs/leaders. We need to be in shape (technology, hands on skills) by doing tech stuff while we have to wear another hats (management, operations, etc.)

I delegate enough to empower my team to do things better than I can. I never delegate everything; I try to be an active participant instead of one on sidelines reading only mails/reports.
