When a task that you have delegated to an employee comes back to you - and then you finish it. This is called reverse delegation or monkey business.
If you, as the boss, work on delegated tasks, then you do the work that your employees should actually be doing. This is fatal because then you have no time for your actual tasks.

Has it ever happened to you that a task that you have delegated to an employee ends up back on your desk again? Does this happen to you a lot? Then you keep walking into the same trap again and again.
In this video, I'll show you how to avoid this back delegation in the future.

  • Yeah, i got this many times. In one case, the employee asked when I needed the job done and then endless details without actually doing it. In another case, an employee offered that he and I could do the job together ........

    Your video was so informative. I actually learned something new. I’m going to start using these techniques on one of my employees who wants me to work with him of every task. I’m exhausted.

    A Chinese saying is apt here - A good leader is someone when the task is complete, their followers feel we did it ourselves.
