Right & Wrong Way to D-level<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I think that every good leader needs to learn the “fine art of delegation.”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You are\u00a0busy<\/a>. Your\u00a0to-do list<\/a>\u00a0is never ending and you feel like you could work\u00a080 or 90 hours<\/a>\u00a0a week and still not accomplish everything you want to do in any given week. Add onto that a myriad of meetings, phone calls and employee issues and it\u2019s enough to make any business owner<\/a> want to throw in the towel.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are not alone. Over the past 25 years, I have worked with thousands of business owners with similar stories. Which is why one of the first things I do with any new coaching client is to sit down and talk about what their to-do list looks like and develop a strategy for identifying the items on that list that could be eliminated or delegated to someone else. We call these Right & Wrong Way to D-level tasks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is a D-Level Task?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The D-level tasks are the things on your to-do list that don\u2019t provide any value or growth for your business. They might still need to be done, but they are generally a poor use of your time and brainpower. These can vary based on your industry, but things like answering customer service questions, dealing with employee schedules and conflicts, going on lower-level sales meetings, etc., are all things that could (and should) be taken off your plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Get Rid of D-Level Tasks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are a few ways to get these D-level tasks<\/a> off your to-do list, such as not doing them all together. But for most of us, the work still needs to be done. Which is why I think that every good leader needs to learn the \u201cfine art of delegation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Right<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. Use The Right Terminology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to handing tasks off to other team members, it is crucial that they understand the process and exactly what is expected of them along the way. At my company, when someone delegates a task, we say that the recipient of the task now “owns” it. They are responsible for not only completing the item in question, but also closing the loop with the team in regards to reporting. This terminology is one that almost everyone understands, and will inherently know the steps that follow such a delegation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
