Entrepreneurship draws people who aren’t afraid of taking risks and who are willing to put in the work. However, this field also has its share of pitfalls… like not being able to transform work requests into work for others. Leaders often get to their positions by getting things done. The practice of leadership, however, often means letting others get things done. The handoff process is called delegation. In this book, Emily Morgan dissects this topic from psychological, technical, emotional, financial, and economic angles.

As for strengths, this book provides a thorough but brief analysis of delegation. Morgan has clearly contemplated and mastered this topic from many perspectives. Beyond mere inspiration, this book offers actionable advice to overcoming common roadblocks towards getting others working. For example, she encourages leaders to set an hourly rate for themselves and continually ask themselves, “Is this task worth my hourly rate?” She centers leaders to think of impact first, not the safety and security of what’s comfortable.

The main shortcoming of this book lies with its size. It’s incredibly short. I liked its fast pace, but I wanted to learn more when no more material was to be had. Further, this book needs to present more material about delegating to technological tools. Technology is a huge force multiplier in the modern workplace, and its use promises only to increase with coming artificial intelligence. Delegating work to these tools through skilled workers is a complex subject, though, that deserves careful treatment. Making these tools itself is an entrepreneurial focus. I would have liked to have read more about this relevant topic.

Overall, this book provides a solid foundation for learning how to get others involved in doing the work instead of hoarding it all to yourself. As Morgan admonishes, even delegating 80% of a task to someone while leaving the remaining 20% for yourself can result in significant scalability. Short pearls like this fill the book and provide business readers the opportunity to improve their own work performance – and their team’s work performance. Leadership is about enabling others to enact meaningful change. This book equips readers to lean into this principle more deeply by freeing their teams to join in the fun.… (meer)
