If you are the only one capable of performing a simple, routine task because you overcomplicated the process, then simplify it. Start with writing down each step, make sure each step is clear, and eliminate any unnecessary steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trying to Duplicate You<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t try to get someone to be another version of you, which is the hardest person to duplicate. Rather, look for the tasks that are most easily delegated and start with those. You\u2019ll find it easier to delegate aspects of your responsibilities than all of your responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Go Slow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Delegate slowly. For example, if you are looking to delegate five of your major responsibilities, then start with one, monitor the progress, make adjustments, and then delegate the next responsibility once the first one is under control. We have a tendency to try and dump too many things on another person at one time, which almost never works out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And if you like what you just read, then don\u2019t hesitate to forward to your friends, and\/or click \u201cLike\u201d on LinkedIn!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Make sure to subscribe to our weekly emails to receive practical business, financial and tax strategies! <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.belbolcpa.com\/newsletter-signup.htm?\"><strong>Sign Up Now!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although delegating is a buzz word, don\u2019t make these mistakes when doing so.
