When you see an employee struggling with a task you could do easily, it’s only natural to want to step in and help. But from the other side, this can feel more like micromanagement than support. And when leaders over-function by keeping too much work for themselves, they allow those around them to under-function. We all know how important it is to delegate — both to help employees grow and to create a more collaborative, empowered, productive team.

As an executive leadership coach who works with leaders around the world, I often hear leaders asking their employees a wide range of questions on a regular basis.

There are endless reasons leaders don’t tend to regularly delegate tasks. “I’m not sure any of my team members are ready or prepared to do this work.” “It will take longer to explain how to do this than to just do it myself.” “I’m not sure anyone on my team can do this work as well as I can.” “I don’t want to overburden my staff.” “When I have more time, I can teach team members how to do this.

Quiet forms of retaliation are incredibly common and can be contagious in the workplace. The organizations that accept this form of retaliation as a standard practice have difficulty hiring and retaining great people. Retaliation — in all its forms — not only harms current team members, but a culture that tolerates retaliation results in harm to the mission and the organization’s ability to deliver to its customers and stakeholders.

To be successful, researchers at the Neuroleadership Institute have found we must excel across three core domains of great leadership: being future-focused, being good with people, and being able to drive results. And yet, as we develop as leaders, our brains evolve in ways that challenge our ability to excel in these areas. The team analyzed dozens of leadership development programs used by larger organizations and discovered they often fail to equip leaders across all three domains.
