PLEASE… Handle with care
I know… It’s a BIG DEAL.
You have a lot to do and it’s not easy to get organized in an instant. You need to know your team well and be able to determine their strengths in order for you to give them better assignments. You need to get a handle on things and sometimes your focus could totally be different than what is expected of you. Sometimes you can’t see the big picture and your perspectives could also be unclear at times. Your team might be focusing their energies at the wrong material. While this is happening, you can’t seem to figure out what’s wrong with your plans.
Yes, planning is very important but delegating your tasks at hand could also be very tiresome to say the least. You have to keep on monitoring your team on their progress. There’s a lot that you have to do but you can’t seem to work on it until everyone has finished their tasks. You find that pretty soon you’re jumping in and helping them in the process. There are many things you should consider when delegating or allocating the workload, like what are your team’s strengths, what is the delivery time and how long each task should take. Sometimes you give yourself too much leeway, or too little time to think. Then, you suddenly realize that YOU FAIL on task management.
WHY?
Because, you keep on going back to those sensitive projects which you’ve already assigned. You can’t seem to let go and you have a lot of “what ifs” which have not happened yet, but you seem to preempt it. Then, you realize that you are just surrounding yourself with issues instead of facing what you can do right now, at this very moment.
You have that feeling that you can’t seem to trust your team or the people you’ve assigned to be able to handle the work independently.
But the truth is…they can HANDLE IT.
It has always been just about you…
When you keep on looking back, you will only let yourself fall into “square one”.
Avoid this type of mindset by exploring various options. There are a lot of strategies that you can counter this way of thinking. Build that trust inside yourself. If you believe you can do it, then you should believe that your team can do it too. It’s just a matter of sharing that trust around you. Boost their skills and help them see how your plans would come into light. Plans can be very vague at times, but it’s up to you as the business owner, how you can liven it up a bit. Don’t dwell on the standards, develop some techniques on your own.
Yes, the project may be time-sensitive and you can’t seem to take your mind off of it. Still, you need to find it in you to unlearn or to learn ways to be able to delegate tasks effectively without looking back on your shoulders.
