When you’re overwhelmed at work, it’s easy to fall into patterns that no longer serve you. That can mean holding onto responsibilities instead of delegating them — preventing you from leveling up in your role.
Even worse, it can mean delegating a responsibility, but micromanaging or abdicating responsibility — leaving your teammates frustrated.
With the right level of prioritization and communication, you can make space for your own growth.
🫶 A resource we’re recommending to prioritize what should be delegated:
The 80% rule: If someone else can do it at 80% of the quality that you could do it, delegate it. Use the following matrix to assess what can be delegated: (Dima Ghawi)
High skill, high priority → Keep for yourself
High skill, low priority → Train and delegate over time
Low skill, high priority → Automate or simplify
Low skill, low priority → Delegate immediately
