In this episode of Lead for Clarity, Melanie and Shandel discuss the common challenges that prevent effective delegation in leadership. They share stories from their own experiences struggling to delegate tasks and identify issues like lack of trust, pride, and not having systems in place. The team also provides strategies for overcoming these barriers, such as embracing mistakes, building relationships, and communicating expectations. They emphasize the importance of delegation for career development and empowering teams. The hosts encourage listeners to recognize excuses and delegate tasks with a growth mindset.

Key Takeaways:

• Delegation is a process that requires consistent communication, follow up, and relationship building over time. Simply asking someone to take on a task once is not enough.
• It's important to recognize our own excuses for not delegating and have a growth mindset to overcome challenges through practice. Mistakes will happen but that's part of the learning.
• Effective delegation empowers team members and supports career development by providing opportunities for growth, contribution and feeling valued in their work. Making delegation a priority has benefits for both individuals and the organization.
