Helicopter Leaders Hover, Effective Leaders Get Out of the Way
Summary
If delegating makes you feel like you’re losing control, you’re not alone! We’ve all heard the saying, “If you want something done right, you better do it yourself.” But with this outlook, it’s difficult to learn to let go and trust others to do what they were hired to do.
