6 Barriers to Effective Delegation (and How to Combat Them)
Manage episode 513522760 series 3642787
We tend to think of delegation as a tactical challenge, but most of the time, leaders who struggle to delegate are dealing with a deeper belief issue. In this episode, Alex and Ben discuss the 6 heart postures that get in the way of delegation, from beliefs about our own self worth to the level of trust we’re willing to place in people. They also explain why effective delegation is essential for servant leadership, and they cast a vision for a healthy, effective, and lifegiving culture of delegation that can transform your business and life.
