The Delegation Paradox

0 min read

Most high performers resist delegation for logical reasons: - "It's faster to do it myself" - "No one else can do it as well" - "I don't have time to train someone" - "What if they make mistakes?" - "I'll lose control of the outcome"

These concerns are valid—and expensive. Research shows that professionals who effectively delegate earn 45% more than those who don't. The math is simple: when you're stuck doing $50/hour tasks, you can't do $500/hour strategic work.
