Are you “Hands On”, Micro Managing Your Team?
As your business has developed and grown are you now less “hand on” and totally comfortable with not being at the front line of your business?
Are you adding strategic value to your enterprise and being less tactically involved?
When you continue to be engaged with micro managing the activities of your business the more you are actually detracting from its potential to continually grow and be even more successful.
Investing in the development of your staff and in your own ability to successfully delegate responsibility of the day to day operation will add value way above the cost of doing so.
Even more successful growth of your enterprise will be achieved with increased staff self-sufficiency and reduced dependency on the leader.
But beware of abdicating and not properly delegating responsibilities.
