Delegate

Delegate everything that is delegatable (I don't care that this isn't a word):

• It doesn't matter if you can do it better
• It doesn't matter if you can do it faster or more efficient
• It doesn't matter if you like doing it
• Only if it is a core activity for you calling can you consider not delegating
• Sometimes delegation is time consuming and annoying but our people need the responsibility and we are not serving them if we do things for them.
• We will often get stuck with the dumb stuff that no one wants to do (such as budgetary stuff). That's fine.
• When you delegate, actually do so, without worrying it and them to death.
  • Only intervene if they ask for help (and only to the extent they ask, no more)
  • Intervene only to prevent someone from having egg on their face through a public failure
• All this applies equally to youth and adults
