My Mantras!

I have a series of sayings that I call “My Mantras!”.

They are sayings that I have developed over the years. They worked for me and they have worked for thousands of managers and leaders who have attended our courses. Almost without exception, when the course ends, participants mention that this mantra has really changed the way they think.

“You should ONLY do the things that only you can do!” Everything else should be delegated.

As a manager and leader, you are often deluged with tasks, demands, deadlines. Every day goes by in a flash as you try and meet expectations from your staff and from your boss.

And this is where the mantra comes in. If you try to do everything, you drown. So focus on the things that only you can do and delegate everything else! Then when that urgent request comes in, you can respond calmly without panicking. And it’s a great development tool for your next-in-charge staff!
