Series Introduction
As a Leader, it can be frustrating to attempt to delegate because it takes longer than just doing it yourself. Too often, you get sucked back into doing the task anyway.
Good delegation is not an accident. In this Blog Series, we will outline the DR GRAC Delegation Framework, a proven tool from Steven Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, to ensure that you can delegate effectively to your Team without the worry and frustration you’ve experienced in the past.
We’ll help you:
- Identify an opportunity where delegation puts the work into the proper hands on your Team.
- Work the DR GRAC delegation framework to delegate the task effectively.
- Follow the Accountability Plan so you and the Task Owner feel great about the outcome.
Trying to do everything yourself is not an effective way to lead your Team. Without a consistent framework for effectively delegating tasks, your results will be mixed, and frustration will be high for both you and your Team. Failing to delegate can leave you stressed out and only able to work IN your business and not ON your business.
It’s easy to believe you’re the only person that can do what you do, but believing that can make you feel like you’re carrying the whole world on your shoulders. Trying to do it all limits your growth and can negatively impact your ability to be present for your Team and even your family.
Using the DR GRAC Delegation Framework allows you and your Team to get dramatically more done every day. You won’t have to do everything by yourself, and you won’t live in constant worry that your Team will mess everything up. The clarity you develop through delegation and the Accountability Plan will empower your Team to find creative solutions to problems within clearly defined guidelines. You will stay aware of results through the planned accountability checks. You will begin to have more time for higher level work, for growing your business, and for accomplishing more than you could ever accomplish by yourself.
Join us on this 7-part Blog Series as we work through the DR GRAC Delegation Framework in detail. Complete the exercises and practice your new skills as you delegate more effectively. Each week we’ll outline the next step, guiding you through setting up your delegation, creating your Accountability Plan, and enjoying the freedom that comes with empowering your Team.
