The expression, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself actually attests to an inability to effectively delegate, which is usually the result of poor communication. Getting everyone on the same page, and getting every member of your team to have an equal share in the stakes involved not only requires communicating what to do. Setting clear deadlines, communicating why the work is necessary, how each task fits into the big picture, and what that completed work looks like is just as important. This matters not only for the individual or the team, but in the larger scheme of things. Consider these points when deciding how to answer this question.
