Our output is tied to our reputation, so relinquishing control can feel risky. But here’s the tension: your best work requires focus, and focus requires that you don’t do everything yourself. Delegation isn’t a luxury; it’s a leadership skill.

When you are instituting or learning something new - or doing so with your team - they're not approaching the idea or task from the same place.  They'll absorb, understand, react to, and make sense of the idea, process, learning, or skill you are presenting from their prior and current knowledge of that subject, which is highly affected by their personal and professional experiences.  Understanding this is key.

Sometimes we set goals without thinking about the fact that we need resources to achieve those goals.  Those resources can be tangible or intangible (financial, emotional, physical, etc.) but the resource we often neglect to measure and consider when setting goals is our time.

What’s the biggest growth mindset mistake of them all? We do too much.
