I am not good at delegating. I don't trust other people! I know that is not good. Thanks for sharing your tips!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

It can be hard to let go sometimes, but often it needs to be done so we can increase productivity/efficiency and be less overwhelmed! Thanks for watching these tips on how to delegate effectively. Cheers!

[@LisaGallegos]

I have trouble delegating. Thanks for sharing!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks for watching. What is your biggest challenge when it comes to delegating?

[@YourBestDesignedCareer]

Completely agree with delegating out the right tasks to the person with the right skillset. Great advice!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

It's important to identify the right person when delegating. Glad to hear you agree with this tip. Cheers!

[@staceyaginmurray]

I can easily apply these delegating tips to the work I do with my organizing clients. It's so important to delegate a task to the right person with the needed skill set! Great tips for those working on their delegation skills.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Stacey, I'm so glad these delegating tips will be practical and easy for you to apply with your clients! Identifying the right person for the task makes all the difference. The goal is always to be as productive as possible! Cheers!

[@FullyBookedConsulting]

This video is gold! I truly believe delegation is one of the most important skills of being an effective manager. I always had weekly 1:1s with my team so we always were able to circle back on all assigned tasks for that week. I love your post-it note tip!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Delegation is truly such an important skill! It's so great that you have weekly "checkups" with your team members to ensure all is well. The post-it note is a simple but sure way to encourage someone. Do you often delegate tasks when preparing your vacation rental for new visitors?

[@heathercunningham4824]

Relevant skills!! Love your tip on who you should be delegating too. It is true that you can't just delegate to the person who has the lightest schedule because they might not have the right skill set to handle the task (and you may end up just handling the task yourself at a later date if it doesn't turn out well). Also loved the tip about showing appreciation for a job well done. A little appreciation goes a long way.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

A little appreciation truly does go a long way, especially when it's a task you've delegated to someone else. It's very important to delegate to someone who is up to the task. Thanks for watching this video on my delegation tips! Cheers!

[@PracticalInspiration]

Great tips Adriana, you're spot on about getting the balance between workload and finding people with the right skillset

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks for watching! Yes, you don't want to overload your high performers but it's still important to delegate to someone who can accomplish the task successfully. Do you delegate often in the work you do?

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thanks for watching. Do you delegate tasks effectively? Any pro delegation tips to add? Comment below! Cheers!

[@wildwomanenchanted6742]

Delgeating is often so hard when you start but such a great way to move forward. Love the topics you cover ... They give such a real and doable, tangable way for people to move forward and grow and keep clear! I have to say.. I find it hard because EVEN when I communicate things, people still sometimes do something I ask them not to do because they are smart. !! LOL I tell people... hey.. please, we already have tried everything, please if you have an idea, ask first. We may have already tried it! I always do what i call the 'grunt work' myself first and then pass it along! LOL ... great video Adriana!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Delegating can be hard but you're right, it is a great way to move forward. I'm so glad you find my tips practical and helpful! I know it can be difficult when people don't listen even after you've communicated but this is why I often say to OVER communicate. It can get frustrating but in business, you've just got to stick to it! Glad you've learned how to delegate and have been doing so, even when it's difficult. Thank you for watching my tips on how to delegate effectively. Cheers!

[@BalancedtotheCore]

Awesome video, as always! It's so true that it's the people that produce the most who get loaded with more work. Great tips!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Yes, and sometimes overloading one high producer can end up being less efficient, so it's important to take this into account. Thanks for watching my tips on delegating effectively. Cheers!

[@laurendempsey9644]

Thank you so much! Delegating in your business will help you be effective and efficient in all you do. Which of my delegation tips was your favourite?

[@menacemonk4000]

I agree with this video. As a leader it's important to delegate because then things can get out of hand and very overwhelming if we don't delegate.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Exactly. Delegating tasks makes work life easier, less stressful, and more efficient. I'm glad you understand the importance of delegating! Cheers!

[@RVersity]

Balancing the workload is very important. Delegating is very important for a stress free well managed office. Great Tips! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

Great tips Adriana, always say get the right people on your bus👍

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Yes! So important to have smart people around you that you can trust with important tasks. Thanks for watching, Clifford. Do you have to do a lot of delegation in your work?

[@angelafaison5836]

I need to get comfortable with delegating. I am a person that likes to do things myself because I like things a certain way. But it is very true as you stated I cannot do it all. I will start with an assessment of what I'm doing to identify what I can stop or what I need to delegate.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Angela, that is the perfect place to start. You will find that once you figure out how to delegate effectively it will become second nature. Thanks for watching, cheers!

[@TheSimpleCitizen]

So, im in my mid 30s.. growing up as an only child, home schooled for a significant part of my life, i had a hard time believing people my age or older would either respect me enough or just appreciate me trying to take the lead on things.. oh, i forgot to mention, my parents are 1st generation immigrants from Eastern europe also 😅 im sure being hard on myself, overly critical and self doubt is probably genetic or at least, culturally ingrained to me. Anyway, in my 20s i kept telling myself that ill get better and have it easier in my 30s because I'll be older... I always gave those older than me that social role and the respect that goes with it...earned or not. Kinda ridiculously when i think about it today. Anyway, to my point: i finally become confident and comfortable in delegating tasks to help my team help me reach my end goal for the night.... im mostly confortable doing this with the guy's. I have no problem cracking the proverbial whip if i need ask more than 4 or 5 times ... but whereni can't seem to feel natural or confortable, is with my female co workers who are older than me....especially knowing they have more experience than i do. What makes it even more daunting is they speak almost exclusively Spanish. I am able to communicate just enough back and forth to get thru our basics duties. I use Google translate for more in depth communication. But i just think since they're my elders, they can work at their own pace, andni dont wanna ask too much of them out-of fearnof being too demanding or them thinking im just handing out duties I don't like...which isn't true. I never ask anyone to anything that they havnt seen me work hard and devoted to. Do i need to approach womenn (40sto 50s) the same as the younger fellas? Differently? How? Or do i just let them do their thing as long as it's work related?

[@Santoniworldwide]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. We recently delegates our video editing and it has saved us a bunch of time. Sites like Fiverr are great for solo-preneurs.

[@BWoodPhotography]

I think that delegating is key to having a successful business because it helps things run more smoothly and efficiently. It is also important that you're delegating to those that have the skills to accomplish the task at hand.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

I agree - identifying the right person for a given task is important in delegation. This is what makes it productive and efficient. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you understand the importance of delegating effectively! Cheers!

Delegation is a must! Are you doing any delegation in the work you do?

[@andrewlee7621]

Love this video! Adriana, do you have any tips for delegating in a nice way so it doesn't sound authoritative and the person being delegated would want to accept, since as PM we often have no authority. Thanks!

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Hi, Andrew. A great question. I really feel that it’s the way we delegate, for example tone of voice used, body language. Some people aren’t necessarily happy to be part of a project, so letting them know how much their work is appreciated sets a really positive tone moving forward and will make things go a lot smoother. Hope this helps! Cheers!

Oh love this! It can be hard to delegate effectively. Great tips, my fave is to communicate well and often. Lol and check-up. Soooo true! Thanks for sharing this. 💖💕🌷🌳🍃🌸

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Thank you for watching! Communication is really key for successful delegation. Glad it sounds like you're becoming a delegating pro! What career are you in?

I am a film and TV actor, a writer and a Bioenergy Therapy practitioner. I work mostly alone but I am also currently undergoing renovations in my house and I loved delegating it to the experts, stepping in just to do check-ups and communicate my wishes clearly. Past renos were way more hands on, so I’m glad I’m better at letting go now.

[@AdrianaGirdler]

Wow, that's AMAZING! It sounds like you've got a lot on your plate so it's good that you made the decision to delegate to some experts with your house renovations. This way you can focus on your career; however I'm glad to hear that you're checking in with them enough and communicating your wishes clearly. You definitely wouldn't want a house renovation gone bad, lol! Cheers!

Lol that is true! But my sister is also an interior designer so I am truly in the hands of experts! It’s fun checking in with myself too to make sure I love all the decisions. If something didn’t feel exactly like something that was me, I was able to speak up in a kind way and say it. It could’ve been delicate with a sister but it is AMAZING actually.@@AdrianaGirdler

[@AdrianaGirdler]

It's so great that the expert you needed was your own sister! I'm glad it's been working out to have her work on your house. I love how you pointed out having to check in with yourself to make sure you truly love all the decisions. It can indeed be delicate with family but it's great that you've been able to effectively communicate your wishes (one of my tips!) Woohoo!

My biggest weakness. Of cos I'm not telling them that! 😂

[@jschultzf3]

I have such a hard time delegating...I struggle with the whole 'they can't do it better than me' thing lol

[@AdrianaGirdler]

That one is challenging. It can be tempting to want to do everything ourselves but at the same time, we don't want to overwhelm ourselves or burn out before we can get to all those tasks. This is why identifying the right person for the task is so key! Cheers!

[@iloveshinyobjects]

If this is the case don’t delegate.  The tasks that have to be very precisely done or are too difficult that no one can get them done exactly right except you obviously shouldn’t be delegated.  But if you think with your wise counsel, advice, & step by step materials it would be possible for someone else to do as good a job as you.  Take a little time (when you can) to start working on the process/documents/step by step procedures & overall wise counsel they would need to be able to do it.  The best time would be as you are working on that thing, perhaps have a word document open, or a piece of paper & write in the helpful advice/wise counsel as you think about it & of course as you have the time to do so.  And as a backup you can do it yourself; as they are doing it.  In case they don’t do a good enough job, you will still have your own version done.  At this moment you can do 1 of 3 things: 1. Continue to train them up to do it as good as you. 2. Consider someone else who could do it better. 3. Or hire someone new that compliments where your current team is weak & should be able to do as good of a job as you. o And just because you’re the best at it doesn’t always mean you should be doing it; again it comes down to priorities.  You might need a wise mentor or coach to help you figure this out.
