Use the “70% Rule” to Know When to Delegate Tasks

Most of us know that “if you want a job done right, do it yourself.”

We don’t always have the time to do it ourselves, though.

If someone can do the job 70% right, it’s a prime task for delegation.

Inc has a formula to find the balance between perfection and feeling overworked.

Let go of perfection.

It’s easier said than done?

But there is no place for perfection when it comes to delegation.

Sure, you might’t do this with every task.

If the task is primary to your job, you should probably do it yourself.
