INSTANT MBA: Stop Doing Other People's Jobs
Being a leader is more than knowing and doing everything. Its about finding the right people collaborate with and supporting that process.I think that leaders need to be available to answer and ask questions from their team, however they must also recognize the value in their employees talents and give them room to succeed. This may sound easy but to me their is a very fine line between them.

INSTANT MBA: Stop Doing Other People's Jobs
Often time you run across a leader at a business that is scared to let their employees do their part in the workplace. They feel like this because they do not feel like the job will be done the correct way. I have worked under someone like that and trust me they were always stressed out. I begin to tell her to let her guards down and let other people help you with this work and watch how much easier your job will be and she finally did. As a manager it is important to know how to do everything but it is also more important for you to assign these task to your employees because that is what they were hired for. Don't try to do everything yourself because all you will do is burn yourself out. If you don't trust your employees to do the work why do you hire them?

A manager should know how to do everyone’s job but not due it for them. You have to lead your team so that they are capable of doing their job. If you are having to go back and redo what someone has done, then maybe you should consider whether or not they should be employed. As a manager you have an important role and have your own job duties to perform, completing someone else, makes you not be able to perform your job duties.

For successful team it all starts at the people you hire. Your employees must be great and would work with you and adapt to changes as well because the businesses change over the year due to competition and you must make sure you have an A team so you know if you don't have to run behind somebody just to find out what was done or not.

This article shows the importance of working as a team. One person cannot carry out all of the teams tasks themselves because that would ruin the whole point of being a team. Everyone has their own task that they have to carry out on their own and when every person carries out their task, they will all succeed.

Every person is important and it is important for each one to step up and do their job. I was an assistant manager at sonic for 6 years and the biggest problem was that the crew before didnt do their job. This is important because if one person doesnt do their job, the next person with thinks "I dont have to do it either" or "it has to get done so Ill do it". As a leader, you must position your employees that plays off of their strengths and make sure they are as passionate about their job as you are.

I like this link of the day. It is so easy as a leader to just try and do everything yourself. However, like it says in the article it should be a collaborative effort. The more you enable your team to do their jobs the better the product can potentially be. Instead of trying to do everything yourself, you should try and delegate tasks and allow your employees to shine. They can definitely bring in some perspective or expertise that you may not have. This will result in a better final product.

This link talks about having people on your team that are good at their job. If you are a manager and is needed to do a lot of another person's part than you need to hire someone else. A manager needs employees that posses skills that the manager doesn't have. They need employees that complement their skills in a way that their company does't have any weak spots. The manager also needs to recognize this and let their employee do their job as effectively as posible.

What Mrs. Mills means in this article is that when you are operating in a team you should give each individual person there room to grow. The leader should not have to necessarily step in every time that someone needs help. Instead you should have faith in each team member to do whatever task that has been assigned to them. You created a team based on each of their talents so place them into a situation in which they can succeed and watch them work.

This article points out an important aspect of any business. Picking your employees, is very important and is something that should not be taken lightly. You need to hire people that will better the company and will work well with the other people on your staff. Also, since you have hired this person to do a job, let them do it! Do not try to take over and do their job for them. Back off and let your employee do what you hired them to do. If they are not able to, then find someone else who can. It is not the bosses job to do everyone else's jobs. Instead, have confidence that you hired the right people and lead them to better the company.

Being a successful leader takes a great team around you. When leading a team remember everyone has had different experiences and can get the job done in different ways. A great leader can find which employee needs to do what part of the job and place them in the right situation. A great team leader can also be helpful in doubts of employees and fill the empty space with words of wisdom.

Mills seems like the ultimate boss to work for! Her employees must be thrilled and extremely content in their careers with a boss like her. She's wise enough to know that no one person has all the talents needed to make a business thrive. She knows micromanagers never get the best from their employees but, instead, those managers who allow their people to demonstrate their unique talents usually reap the benefits. I, personally, have always performed better for those managers who showed me that they appreciated my intelligence and talents and gave me the freedom and support I needed to let those shine through. I think Mills is one of those managers and her business if sure to benefit from her style.

As a leader of a group or company, I think it is important to remember you are not doing things alone. Although one person may feel like they have enough ideas and can do things alone, it is important to remember the more input there is for an idea, the better the idea can be. If the group sits down and brainstorms each persons' ideas can be joined and used as one great idea. That idea can then be put into work and can become successful for a company. I feel that is important for leaders to lead and do their part for a group and to let others do their parts. If help is needed then the leader should assist the workers to solve the issue.

Instant MBA: Stop Doing Other People’s Jobs I had my own personal experience with this where my boss would tell us to do something then two seconds later she would just do it herself. She would never give us a chance to do something she would just do it because she was so paranoid that it wouldn’t get done. At some point she got overwhelmed and her work ethic decreased. She ended up staying late all the time and it just wasn’t healthy for her or the people she was working with. It took her awhile to trust others and to delegate jobs to others.

INSTANT MBA: Stop Doing Other People's Jobs.
Sometimes to see something succeedyou have to take a step back and let your employees do their job. It is important that you continue to be there to help them when they have questions, but sometimes they need the space to get the job done. Although it is second nature to want to take the job and do it yourself, it may not always be the best choice. While leaders need to stay involved, they need to oversee what is taking place. They need to give their employees the need materials to get the job done and they need to sit back and oversee them do what they do best. This may be hard at times, but in the long run it will pay off. As a leader, find yourself a team that works well together and let them get the job done.
