WWW.AGRM.ORGMARCHAPRIL 2016 51 CLIMB THE LEADERSHIP LADDER The most important decision youll ever make as a leader is selecting the leaders around you. Whos Holding Your Ladder Selecting Your Leaders Whitaker House by Samuel Chand reminds us that the height of any visionary leader and the fulfillment of the vision are contingent on whoever is holding his or her ladder. In this book youll discover Without a lad- der holder you can climb only to a certain level. With the right ladder holders you can go much higher. As organizational vision increases the need for another type of ladder holder increases. WHY DELEGATE At some point you have to rely on other peo- ple to help you do what needs to be done. Delegating increases your time. It allows you the freedom to focus on what you should be accomplishing and to better see the big picture. Only do those tasks that nobody else can do. Look at what you do and ask yourself if this is really where you should be spending your time. All routine activities and minor deci- sions should be delegated to others. Also any tasks that should be performed when you are not there or unavailable are also candidates for delegation. Never keep work simply because you do it better. Delegating certain tasks to others is a way of developing and endorsing those you lead. Delegating allows people to learn by doing to take risks and to build confidence. Its one of the best ways to develop that person for further responsibilities. Delegation is a discipline. Youve got to work at it. Source Leadershipnow
