Break the pattern
When you have the knack, delegating is a lovely thing that comes with the triple benefit of clearing your inbox, getting the work done…
We all like an easy fix. We like to think that when we dig a little underneath a problem and discover an obvious issue, that it’s THE issue. This one thing caused the horror and all we have to do is tweak it a smidge and polish it a little and, ta da!, all is good with the world.
It doesn’t work that way.
It’s rarely one thing. When there’s a problem, if you take the time to track down what’s actually happening, you pretty much always finds it’s this and this and this. Everything is connected, so a problem here makes a problem there which causes issues in that other place too.
If you truly want to break the pattern, gather the talents around a white board, draw the boxes and make the connections. Then fix together what you find together.
