- “Delegation is a big key to growth, freedom of time, and freedom from stress.”
- “If you’re delegating really well, it puts you in more control.”
- “A lot of the time, people restrain from doing a good job because they’re afraid of doing it wrong or messing things up.”
- “We need to make sure we’re delegating the objective and not as much the process.”
- “If you haven’t done personality testing with your team, I highly recommend it. There are so many options out there.”
