#486 Why you don't delegate (and what to do differently)

Hi, I'm Sarah. And I'm Helen. And this is the Squiggly Careers podcast. Every week we talk about a different topic to do with work and share some ideas and actions to help all of us navigate these squiggly careers with that bit more confidence and control. And every episode that we record on the Squiggly Careers podcast comes with a pod sheet.

That is a one-page summary of all the tips and tools and resources that we refer to. And that is designed to help you take action, really, which is what we really care about. Also, one of the things that might be useful to you is to sign up to the Squiddly Careers in Action weekly newsletter. It's where we put all the links to the podcast, the pod sheet, other things we might have been reading, watching and listening to that we think might be useful for you. The links to those things are in the show notes, or you can just go to our website, amazingift.com, and you'll find everything you need right there.

So today we are talking about what I am going to guess will be quite a popular topic, which is why you don't delegate and what to do differently. And I think even if you think you're good at delegating, and I started this process thinking, oh, I'm I'm good at this, so I'll be, I'll be able to share my words of wisdom and what I do really well. And actually the more I thought about it, the more I thought I am good at parts of this and not and not all of this. So to get started, we've written some sort of I statements about why we don't delegate.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (32 minutes, 7,172 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.
