Hesitant about sharing responsibilites

Consider why you prefer to get work done separately. Usual justifications could be:

  • "I'm confident that I can do the work better than others."
  • I'll end up picking up the slack and doing it all myself anyway."

Self-confidence and ambition, while good traits, shouldn't come at the expense of a team. A great team needs different characteristics, and it takes a talented leader to create such teams. Ultimately you should trust your colleagues, share responsibilities, and discover creative solutions together.

Adjusting your work style and outlook

You may have difficulty adjusting if you're used to doing everything yourself, but the following can help.

  • Assess your strengths and weaknesses, and be receptive to learning and teaching. If you're an expert in an area, you can teach others. In areas you are weaker, you can learn from your coworkers.
  • Build trust with your colleagues by demonstrating your own vulnerability and openness.
  • Sharing the workload frees up your time and shows your staff that you have faith in their abilities.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
