"My greatest weakness used to be delegation. To improve my teams' efficiency, I would take it upon myself to do many additional small tasks throughout my shift as the lead editor that others could have done. Once I realized that I was doing more work than most of the junior editors, and they were achieving better results, I reevaluated what I was doing. I quickly realized that if I assigned each person just one small task at the beginning of the shift, clearly stated expectations for the project, and then followed up, everything would get done, and I could accomplish much more."
