Building trust in your employees

Medium effort

High impact

Trusting others in your organisation to do a job as well as you could is a challenge for many business leaders. While it’s normal to feel like you know your business better than anyone, a lack of trust often creates issues. Failing to delegate or properly leverage your in-house expertise can result in underperformance and you risk burning out from juggling too many responsibilities.

How will I know if my action plan is working?

Number of delegated tasks

The tasks you were responsible for that you’ve been able to give to employees

Why this metric?

The number of tasks you delegate is a good indicator of how much you trust employees to take on extra responsibilities.

How do I start tracking?

Keep track of which tasks you’ve delegated each month. After six months, reflect on whether that number has increased or decreased over time – if it’s decreased, think about why that’s the case and whether there’s more work to be done.
