You Get Relieved of Workload

Ever had that gnawing feeling that wakes you at 2 a.m., sending you bolt upright in a cold sweat, with your to-do list running frantically through your mind? If you have, you know it can be anxiety at its best—or worst.

If you’re experiencing the 2 a.m. jolt, you’re likely suffering from a case of the three Os: overworked, overloaded, and overwhelmed. Dealing with them individually can be stressful, but dealing with them in combination can be paralyzing.

Delegation can sooth this ailment.

One of the key rewards of delegation is relief from the three Os. Sharing the workload among your team members can be like opening a release valve, relieving you of pent-up pressure that can dull your thinking and diminish your decision making.

And when you use delegation to let go of that pressure, you turn it into opportunity for others around you. In short, your relief could be someone else’s chance to shine, grow, and learn.
