🌬️From the book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People"

𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗖 We accomplish all that we do through delegation either to time or to other people. If we delegate to time, we think efficiency. If we delegate to other people, we think effectiveness 🪻. 🦩Many people refuse to delegate to other people because they feel it takes too much time and effort and they could do the job better themselves. 🌷But effectively delegating to others is perhaps the single most powerful high-leverage activity there is. Transferring responsibility to other skilled and trained people enables you to give your energies to other high-leverage activities. 🪄Delegation means growth, both for individuals and for organizations. > A producer does whatever is necessary to accomplish desired results, to get the golden eggs. > A parent who washes the dishes, an architect who draws up blueprints, or a secretary who types correspondence is a producer. 🍄 But when a person sets up and works with and through people and systems to produce golden eggs, that person becomes a manager in the interdependent sense. - A parent who delegates washing the dishes to a child is a manager. - An architect who heads a team of other architects is a manager. - A secretary who supervises other secretaries and office personnel is an office manager. - A producer can invest one hour of effort and produce one unit of results, assuming no loss of efficiency. - A manager, on the other hand, can invest one hour of effort and produce 10 or 50 or 100 units through effective delegation. ♟️Management is essentially moving the fulcrum over, and the key to effective management is delegation.
