New quote for the New Year!
“You can’t delegate responsibility, you shouldn’t delegate control, but you must delegate authority.” Scott Neilson
Effectively delegating is difficult for many people, but it is an important skill to develop in yourself as well as your team. It is essential to having a swiftly moving, high performing organization. Without it, your organization will be limited by your own personal bandwidth.

As a young Army Lieutenant in the early ’80’s I was taught: “You can delegate Authority, but you can’t delegate Responsibility.” This resonated with me throughout my military career, and throughout my life.
