Day 2- Delegation
From the post of day 2 I have very little to say. It isn’t that I am trying to be modest but I often don’t feel as though I have had many chances to delegate jobs to others.
As a leader of a summer music camp, back in the days, I had many opportunities to delegate work. I was never comfortable delegating work in that atmosphere. I felt inexperienced for the task and easily not as confident as I now feel. Also I often felt like I was passing the buck. It isn’t that I felt others weren’t competent. I wouldn’t hire people if I didn’t think they could do a good job.
In delegating work more recently I have had only a few chances but it is now easier for a few reasons. First, I have a better idea of the skill sets and interests of my co-worker. We were chosen with skill diversity in mind. Second I am more confident in my role as a consultant and a tech leader.
Reflecting back in the change I think my confidence level is one of the deciding factors in delegating work. Now htat I feel more responsible and more knowledgeable I am able to let go of the total control of a project and give out work to others.

I can totally relate to you here. I’ve always been reluctant to ask someone else to ‘work for me’. It made me feel like a rude bossy guy. But, delegation will in the end make us more effective, and give others a chance to learn and grow. I think it’s important to offload things that others can do just as well as us or better, and especially those tasks that we hate or dread doing. Once we let others take those on, we will feel a sense of freedom that will help us be more creative and happier.
