View the full article "If you want something done, do it yourself" is a quote variously attributed to emperor Napoléon Bonaparte, dramatist Charles-Guillaume Étienne, and dictator Zorg in the movie The Fifth Element. I've said it myself more than once, as a cry of despair. But doing everything yourself is not scalable, as both Napoléon and Zorg have noticed to their dismay. So the next best alternative is to learn how to delegate better and empower the people. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jurgenappelo/2015/11/27/if-you-want-something-done-delegate-it-yourself/#3baa39d041ba Bot brain may or may not be right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great point! One of the key things that the Jaycees leadership training stresses is: Keep the Monkey Off Your Back. When delegating things to do, if someone screws up the tendency is to do it yourself so it's done right, but that puts the monkey on your back and that limits how much you can do by extension. So if someone is screwing up you either find a way to get him to do it right or you find someone else to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
