Our culture seems to indicate that we should be capable of doing everything ourselves – be an expert in everything, or you are somehow incomplete. This is, of course, a clear deception. The majority of successful people are master delegators; they recognise their strengths and then surround themselves with people who compliment their weaknesses and give them opportunities to use their gifts and enrich everyone’s situation. For example, I don’t prioritise grocery shopping in my life. With two boys under 3, the whole exercise can be a bit mentally draining. So, I recognise this and outsource so get my groceries delivered. A small thing that takes much less time (and much less running after a toddler down aisles) and we have great meals at home. Some others don’t prioritise planning their exercise sessions, and so they entrust great personal trainers to get the best results. Others who have their own businesses don’t understand or enjoy marketing, and so they employ people who LOVE this work and do a great job. So, by recognising our strengths and weaknesses – how we can benefit others by sharing our strengths and recognising theirs, everyone wins!
