As an entrepreneur, you probably live, sleep and breathe your business. However, as your business grows, you may find you have fewer hours in the day to tackle your ever-growing to-do list.

In order to avoid burnout and declining productivity, it’s important to delegate certain tasks to trusted employees. Doing so can allow you to focus more on your top priorities and less on those tiny day-to-day tasks that you don’t truly need to be doing yourself.

Do What You’re Best At

Very few leaders are great at everything. Effective leaders focus on the activities to which they bring the most value based on their wiring. Relationship-builder? Problem solver? Skilled specifically at execution? Delegate the other duties to not only build a more balanced and inspired team but to also achieve maximum results when everyone is focused on things at which they excel. — Lisa Walsh, Beacon Executive Coaching, LLC
