Helicopter Leaders Hover, Effective Leaders Get Out of the Way

Summary

If delegating makes you feel like you’re losing control, you’re not alone! We’ve all heard the saying, “If you want something done right, you better do it yourself.” But with this outlook, it’s difficult to learn to let go and trust others to do what they were hired to do. Effective leaders know when to hold the reins, and when to entrust their team.
