No one can do everything themselves — but that doesn’t stop us from trying. While most managers know the value of delegating work, they still try to tackle as much as possible on their own. A Microsoft survey of over 20,000 leaders and workers around the globe found that more than half of all managers feel like they have too much on their plate. There’s no denying that delegation is a hard skill to master.
