ON TIME TIP
Learning to delegate frees up time for yourself and your critical work. It also effectively showcases your talent in trusting and building relationships with others. You do not have to do everything yourself. Learn the skill of delegating, being crystal clear about outcome and offering diplomatic follow-up procedures. Make the goal measurable and specific. Welcome questions and set a realistic time line. Define the limits of authority on the task and let go. — Mary Corcoran, special to The Star
