This is a YouTube video titled "The #1 mistake most managers make" containing a monologue or talk from June 7, 2024, discussing common fears leaders have about delegating tasks and how these fears can hinder managerial growth. The content features a single speaker sharing insights on leadership and management challenges.
My experience, leaders who don't delegate, it usually starts from, like, they're afraid of something, like, they're afraid of losing their position in their craft. And so there's. So sometimes people won't delegate because of the fear of being less connected to the craft or making themselves obsolete. Some people won't delegate because they're afraid the people they delegate to won't do it as well. And that mistake could lead to either bad things for the employee or bad thing for you, the manager overseeing the employee. There's like, first place is just to get over these fears, because a lot of them are. They are true in the near term, but they are holding you back in the medium to long term. And see, if you don't get over these fears, you never really actually become a manager.
