Sabotage Part 1 — Hanging On to the Fun Stuff
Did you know that by doing what comes naturally for you within your business you may actually be sabotaging your team? Working with a team for business success has another level of issues that need to be addressed for optimal team performance. We’ll examine a few of these in the next few tips.
Managers, Business Owners and other Team Leaders often hold on to the fun tasks — even though the business would be better off if they let them go. Why would the business be better off?
- Team members who actually are supposed to be performing this task will feel empowered and engaged — instead of like they are constantly have the rug pulled out from under them.
- The job may be done more efficiently — freeing the business owner up to lead, develop and direct the business.
- Your business will appear more legitimate and professional to customers when tasks are consistently and appropriately positioned within your team.
If you are holding on to the “Fun Stuff” examine your tasks and consider truly delegating at least some of these tasks to your team members who could do a great job and make the overall team more effective. Team members will appreciate your sacrifice and you’ll immediately experience higher levels of performance and satisfaction.
