Delegate: The Permission of Imperfect

by Meaning Ring on 2016/09/02

It is a service to allow people the natural process of making their own mistakes.
The reason we don’t Delegate is because of a false belief that “someone else won’t be able to do it as well as I can” or that “it is faster to do it myself.”
R.O.T.I. stands for “return on time invested,” and it works the same as an R.O.I. calculation of money except it is for your time.
M.V.O.T. stands for Money Value of Time and articulates that all of us have an hourly wage and that we are always either paying someone else at their rate of pay to complete a task, or we are paying ourselves at ours.

Andy Stanley teaches us that “Leadership isn’t about getting things done right. It’s about getting things done through other people.”
Anyone who runs a household runs a business.
The 30x rule says that we should invest 30 times the amount of time it takes to complete a task in training someone to do the task and it will still be worth it.
Most of us drastically underestimate the number of skills it takes to just keep us with our daily lives and the incredible opportunity of creating jobs for others and peace for ourselves by learning to outsource.

Someone who makes a hundred thousand dollars a year has an M.V.O.T. of $41.66, so being on hold for twenty minutes when they could be working costs them about thirteen dollars.
