If you’re finally delegating tasks but they either aren’t getting done or aren’t getting done right, you might need a crash course on how to properly delegate tasks so they get done exactly how you want them.

Most people think they just hand over a task and walk away.
At the end of the day, you’re still responsible for making sure things get done. And that might not mean that you’re saving 10 hours a week by turning over a couple of tasks.

Understanding that fundamentally changes how you approach delegation. In this weeks video, I’m going to show you how to use Railroad Tracks when you delegate. Your team might bump around between those tracks but they’re not going to completely derail.
