About This Quote

Letting others do your work for you is generally tempting, but when it doesn’t work out, well, then you’re stuck with it. Even if you can delegate well, the person who was supposed to work doesn’t, or the other person working on your project isn’t working on it at all. And when that happens, you’ve got an unhappy client and a frustrated worker or two. The key to success in delegating work is to make sure everyone knows what’s expected of them and how it will be completed.
