Free Delegation Guide Inside!


The Vigilante's Edge

Career Builder, Edition #012

Hey Reader,

For way too long, I avoided delegating.

Not because I didn’t trust people—but because I thought they were too busy.

I figured, How can I pile more work on their plate? I’ll just push through and get it done myself.

But here’s what happened instead:

🚨 I had too much to do and not enough progress.


⚡ I was exhausted, grinding through tasks that drained my energy.


📉 My team missed opportunities to take on bigger challenges.

Then it hit me.

The work that was burning me out could actually be a huge growth opportunity for someone else.

WAMMO. Just like that.

Tasks I saw as a grind were exactly what someone earlier in their career needed to develop new skills.

I was keeping myself stuck and holding others back from growth—all because I didn’t delegate.

One Person’s Grind is Another Person’s Growth

Once I embraced this, everything changed.

I started delegating intentionally, and here’s what happened:


More progress, less stress – I focused on high-impact work, while my team leveled up.


People felt empowered – They saw delegation as a chance to grow, not just extra work.


We moved faster – Things didn’t bottleneck with me anymore.

How You Can Apply This Today

1️⃣ Audit Your Tasks – Write down what’s draining you. Could someone else take it on?


2️⃣ Find the Right Person – Who on your team (or in your network) would see this as a growth opportunity?


3️⃣ Delegate with Clarity – Explain the why, define success, and offer support (without micromanaging).
