3. Delegate to others those things that they can do for you even if it’s short term.
When you’re out of time use someone else’s. There are times I need to delegate something long term there are times I do it for a season. Make a list of everything you are doing that someone else can do. I hear you saying “but they can do it as well as me.” I know, I’ve been there. This is why you use checklist and job descriptions as well as special assignments to get them to do it your way. If you have not identified where you need help and what you need to stop doing you’ll just keep doing what you’ve always done and have the same results.
I’ve been think and praying about this for the past few months. It’s left me pondering a question: “When is good enough, good enough?”
At times, I find myself needing to delegate something to someone knowing that it will be “good”. This creates tension for someone who hates the words: “Good enough”. However, for me to accomplish those things that only I can do - (this often means me spending time with items that are just plain BAD and need a pick me up.) I must often allow things to be “good” until I have time to come back to them.
So …. When is good enough, good enough?
when you’re doing something that makes the Lord say well done.
