Time management philosophy emphasizing that success requires delegating tasks to others, as attempting to do everything personally limits growth and leads to burnout.
Caricamento......
The "Delegate or Die" principle recognizes that individual capacity is finite. Growth—whether personal, professional, or organizational—requires delegating tasks to others. Failing to delegate creates bottlenecks, burnout, and prevents scaling beyond personal limits.
No matter how efficient, you have only 24 hours daily. Doing everything yourself caps growth at your personal throughput.
Time spent on delegatable tasks is time not spent on high-leverage activities only you can do.
Attempting to do everything leads to exhaustion, reduced quality, and unsustainable pace.
Delegate any task someone else can do 80% as well as you.
Audit your time to find delegatable work.
Match task complexity to capability.
Explain why it matters, not just what to do.
Check progress without micromanaging.
Learn from results to improve future delegation.
Reality: True initially, but teaching creates permanent time savings.
Reality: 80% as well is often good enough, and they'll improve.
Reality: Consider hiring, outsourcing, or automation.
Reality: Enjoyable tasks can still be delegated if low-leverage.
Progress from 1 to 5 as capability grows.
