Delegation Isn’t About Trust. It’s About Identity.


For years, I thought I had a delegation problem.

But what I really had… was an identity problem.

I was the go-to person.

The fixer. The one who always delivered.

So every time I tried to delegate, I’d think:

“It’s faster if I just do it myself.”
“What if they mess it up?”
“What if they don’t need me anymore?”

It wasn’t about trust.

It was about fear—of losing control, relevance, even value.

Here’s what I learned (the hard way):

✔️ Execution gets you promoted.
But delegation keeps you there.

✔️ Your job isn’t to do everything.
It’s to build a team that can operate without you.

✔️ The only way to grow your impact is to let go.
Delegation isn’t about offloading tasks.

It’s about unlocking leadership.
