delegating Archives - Adam Kirk Smith

This is a guest post from Ott Jõgi. He is currently working as a Marketing Manager at a start-up called Weekdone, an employee progress reporting platform. He is passionate about time-management and productivity, so he’s especially pleased that he has the chance to introduce managers to smart time-saving tools.

You will always have more tasks to finish, and more details that need your attention. To achieve success, you must know what is important and needs your personal touch, and also what you can be delegating to others, or to computers. Entrepreneurs and individuals in management should understand their strengths, so that they can build strategies to maximize them. On the other hand, they should also know what their weaknesses are, so they can begin delegating them immediately. Understanding your strengths and weaknesses increases the probability that they will build something of significance that creates millions or even billions of dollars of value, says Jim Clifton, CEO of Gallup.
