Is Delegation One Of Your Weaknesses, Too?

Delegation might be my greatest weak spot. It's no longer that I delegate too much, it's that I delegate to little. Many individuals have this equal weak spot. Personally, I suppose out of all the weaknesses I should have, this one's a pretty right one to have. But there's always room for development. And via development comes productivity.
