Delegation

One of my problems is that I do not delegate less important work to the staff often enough. Part of the problem is that our office does not have a clear chain of command and authority. Without these essential elements in place, I am uncomfortable to delegate even the most mundane and repetitive work. Another part of the problem is that we have an upside down piramid staff structure. If I delegated more work to the staff, the system will break. This set-up causes an inefficient employment of resources--associates' time. But this structure has been in place and entrenched for too long to be changed any time soon.
