Are You Letting Others Add to Your Workload?

Beware of the upward delegator. When others come to you with a problem, be careful not to make their responsibilities yours.

In an effort to end the conversation and get back to your already full agenda you may offer to “look into” the problem. The result: a new project for you.

Instead, turn the conversation around and offer to review the finished work.
