Delegating is both one of the best gifts that leaders can give and one of the hardest gifts for them to give. It’s difficult because it requires trust that the work at hand will be done to the standards of the leader delegating it in terms of quality, timeliness, accuracy, and scope. When looking at delegating in the context of nonprofit work, it’s especially challenging because the best nonprofit leaders are not simply talented professionals with high standards, they are also incredibly passionate about the cause they are supporting. Delegating means asking for the same level of commitment to the mission that they have themselves. And yet, delegating is also a very powerful tool that nonprofit leadership can use to both grow the next generation of leaders into changemakers and future-proof the organization. There is a beauty in recognizing this potential and letting that drive your desire to become better at the art of delegating. |
