All leaders are faced with the realization that when you manage a team, you're not just an individual
If leaders don't master the art and skill of effective delegation, the company, the leader and the team will all suffer. The team will be deprived of the opportunity to grow, learn new skills and engage in exciting work. The company will miss out on different ideas that come from new people focusing on those same tasks—not to mention the void in future-focused strategic thinking and leader-building that is left if you are still doing your old job. Plus, the leader trying to do it all will inevitably burn out.
