If you want something done right, do it yourself
When delegating important tasks
Understanding the Rule
For critical tasks requiring specific standards, personal execution often ensures quality better than delegation. Your standards and vision are sometimes difficult to transfer to others.
What Happens When You Break It
Over-delegation of critical tasks leads to poor quality, rework, missed deadlines, and outcomes that don't meet necessary standards.
Benefits of Following This Rule
Direct involvement in critical tasks ensures quality, maintains standards, prevents errors, provides learning opportunities, and guarantees alignment with vision.
