Today in conversation with a leader, she mentioned how everyone else was to blame – different team members, partners to the business – she took no responsibility for the part that she plays in it all.

Learning to Delegate
Delegation doesn’t necessarily come naturally to everyone. If you had parental influence anything like mine, the mantras were “If a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well” and “If you want a job done well, do it yourself”. Yes literally, that’s what I grew up with. I watched my Dad, an amazingly hard working man, […]
