The main reason a successful business owners delegate work well is because they know the value of time. They understand that the better they delegate, the more time they'll have in their hands to focus on other important things that'll help the growth of their business.
They're also at ease with delegating because they know that they have capable people working on those tasks. Employees who are knowledgeable, attentive, hard-working and reliable are the ones that get the delegated responsibilities.
Business owners know how to prioritise. When they delegate work they know which is of the utmost importance and which can be focused on at a later date. They understand that through delegating, work gets done to the best of their employees abilities and that their employees focus will not be broken by being bogged down with too much to do.
The act of delegating is a great way to empower your staff. Successful business owners know this and utilise it accordingly. Empowered staff feel motivated because they have not only been given the responsibility to get something done but also because it shows that their boss trusts them to be able to do it to a standard that is at least at par with them.
It's tough enough trying to run a business, there is no need to add to that by taking on tasks that can easily assigned to employees. So, don't shy away from delegating and you'll find that work is done faster and at a better quality.
