Quick Hits are 10-minute conversations designed to exercise your brain by letting you listen in on an unscripted conversation to hear other people‘s thoughts on a variety of subjects. In February of 2021 I and the members of my mastermind group thought other people might enjoy listening in on some of the lively conversations we were having. But we realized that no one was going spend 90-minutes listening to us going on about anything and sometimes nothing. Instead, we decided to pick one topic and have a short conversation to share. I took the reigns because facilitating those types of conversations sounded like fun. Over the course of a few months it grew from just members of our mastermind group to four (sometimes three if schedules go sideways) people from various parts of the world and from ”short” to exactly 10-minutes. Thus was born ”Quick Hits” hosted by me, Dr Robyn. I hope to get caught up with posting them here on PodBean at some point. As of this writing, I have over 100 ”episodes.” If you‘d like to see the videos of these conversations, they are available on my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/DrRobynQuickHits If you have a topic you‘d like to hear discussed, I encouraged you to use the contact page of my website: https://drrobynodegaard.com/ to let me know.

Bonnie Sussman-Versace started us off by talking about giving someone else the gift of doing the thing you really enjoy or that you feel you are really good at rather than seeing it as handing off grunt work. That opens the door to the mindset that delegating isn’t a horrible thing.
Dave Roberts went next and shared a story about a boss and mentor he had as an addictions counselor which highlighted that being able to delegate starts with creating a team around you who you trust and being willing to share leadership with them.
Gary Fredericks added that he was predisposed to delegating because he doesn’t like getting involved in the details. What he had to learn about delegation was the follow up. Delegation isn’t just handing something off to someone. You also have to give parameters and expectations and then make sure the task doesn’t get lost.
I followed up with the question – If I don’t believe someone will do a job well, is that me not trusting them or them not being trustable?
How did you learn to delegate. What part of it has been a struggle?
