A simple rule for delegating

In an Inc. Magazine article entitled “How to Delegate Properly“, Josh Spiro writes:

“Think about whether a seemingly simple task can take on an extra dimension that would improve your business. If the answer is no, get your assistant on the phone. If it’s yes, roll up your sleeves.”

This is not to say your assistants are incompetent and only you can improve your business, but it keeps the company’s overall direction and focus inline with the vision of its founder(s).
