In order to be successful, leaders need to learn to delegate some of their work to free up time to do the important, high level, more strategic work that requires their level of skill, experience, business savvy, sensitivity, etc.

When you look at the tasks on your “to do” list, ask yourself: (1) “Is this task something only I can do?”; and (2) “Is it the best use of my time?”  If the answer to either of these questions is “no”, find someone you trust to whom you can delegate the task!

You could always replace talents and skills. Integrity is not negotiable.
