Abstract

Many managers and executives are uneasy about delegating tasks to their subordinates and are unable to do so. As a result, the "do everything yourself" disease is widespread among leaders, who believe that doing things themselves is faster and less likely to fail than delegating them to their subordinates. As the labor shortage continues, even managers are often playing managers who must actively go out to the field and create numbers themselves. That is why how well you "delegate" some of your work determines your performance. If you do everything yourself, you will neglect the important management tasks and hinder the growth and development of the workplace. This book introduces communication techniques that leaders should definitely master, which will help you to smoothly proceed with work while motivating your employees.
