Most people delegate their worst tasks, but you should delegate what you're good at and enjoy instead. This frees you from lower-level work so you can focus on strategy. Rivers follow the easiest path, and so should your time.
Chances are you are doing delegation totally wrong and it's costing you. Here's something to remember: rivers follow the easiest path. And this is true not just for your colleagues, it's also true for you. So here's the thing: when you delegate, don't delegate the task that frustrates you the most. Delegate the one that you enjoy the most, the one that's easy for you to do. Because if you don't delegate that, you will always stay in the trap of that level. Master delegators delegate what they like to do so they can move on to the things they need to do.
