Delegation is a superpower

How to master delegation as an engineering leader
November 19, 2021

For every leader, there comes a time when you realize that you can’t outwork the number of hours in a day.

The number of hours in a working day is a limit I’ve bumped into several times, most notably after becoming a principal data scientist and after having a baby. When I hit these walls, I realized I needed to make a change in how I was managing my time. I needed to reprioritize, identify work that I could let go of, and decide what to do with that work.

Enter delegation. It took me a few rounds of reluctantly delegating projects to realize that delegation isn’t just a way to move tasks from one person’s plate to another’s; it can be a key strategic lever.
