March 20: Growth Happens at the Edge

Delegate until you're uncomfortable, then delegate a little more.

Most leaders delegate far less than they should because discomfort signals we're approaching our trust boundaries.

Pushing slightly beyond your comfort zone in delegation expands your leadership capacity and your team's capabilities.

Take Action: Identify one responsibility you've hesitated to delegate because it feels too important or complex. Break it into smaller components and delegate one piece that stretches your comfort level but doesn't create unmanageable risk.
