It is primarily a process of kicking the habit. That process combines awareness, reflection and effort. Delegation is an early step. After making a list of the things that you know you should not be doing, start delegating those tasks to other people. Clear definition of expectations is a necessary part of effective delegation. Delegated jobs get done wrong when the delegatee does not understand the instruction or the expectation.
Trust in your team is also a necessary ingredient. When you don’t trust your people to do things right, then you feel forced to do them yourself.
Accountability is the critical control in delegation When you have assigned a task to be done and then find it is not done, how do you deal with the person who accepted the assignment?
Finally, there can be a process in place to audit the progress of jobs that have been delegated to others.
