'Every company has some kind of leadership development program, even if they don’t realize it. As soon as a supervisor, manager, director, vice president, senior vice president, executive vice president, or C-suite executive is hired, they “ develop ” as leaders – that is, from the moment they start working they are molded by the circumstances and people that they encounter.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

' . Delegating work is one of the most endlessly challenging things a leader can do. Leaders at any level in an organization can struggle with decisions about entrusting others to do some of the work they’re hanging on to. The simple truth is that you must delegate some work in order to do the work you’re be paid to do. That promotion into the position you’re currently in is contingent on your ability to step up to it.

'If you rarely delegate, you are an individual contributor. It doesn’t matter what your title is. Leaders who don’t delegate are not leading. Not delegating hurts. It hurts YOU. It’s not possible to do it all alone. You will get overloaded, stressed, and will eventually drown in the details. It hurts your team. If you are doing their work, you are denying them the opportunity to grow and develop new skills and experiences.
