It's a pretty cool moment when you accept that someone who isn't you might have the best vision and skill to bring something new to your business. Although we hope and believe that we're singlehandedly the best of the best in our biz, our greatest strength is having the ability to delegate to those who can carry out tasks in more effective, unique ways. Along with it being beneficial to us as business owners, we're also creating a culture of empowered employees who are passionate about adding value to our companies by bringing new things to the table. Once you learn that your weaknesses might be the strengths of your employees, you've won.
Nobody will tell you it's easy to loosen the reins, but as time passes and systems are created, delegating and expanding becomes not only manageable, but a blessing. It has freed up my ability to go full-force in utilizing my own strengths while working collaboratively toward the company missions. Since doing so, I have let go of more day-to-day operations, creating time to influence the direction and culture of the business rather than worrying about whether or not we have stamps and envelopes.
