Don’t look now, but your micromanagement habits might be stunting your company’s growth. If you’re improperly, inefficiently, or just plain avoiding the delegation of tasks, you may be harming your company more than you think.

不要以為你現在凡事親力親為看起來效果很好，要知道事無巨細的管理會阻礙公司的長遠發展。如果你不會恰當地、有效率地授權或干脆不授權的話，你的這種做法給公司造成的傷害可能比你想象得還要大。

1. Settle for 80%

1、80%足矣

Perfection isn’t the key to success. Believing this could put your business in jeopardy. CEOs and entrepreneurs alike should accept 80 percent as good enough–make it your new A+. As long as your goals are met, don’t sweat the small stuff. The last 20 percent can take the longest to achieve and it often has diminishing results anyway. You’ll get more done by moving to the next tasks and improving things as they come along.

完美不是成功的關鍵，追求完美會讓你的企業陷入危險。CEO 和創業者之類的人應該接受 80% 就算夠好 — 把它當作你新的 A+。只要目標達到，就不要再為小事情煩惱。剩下的 20% 要花費最長的時間才能實現，而且往往會讓成果遞減。著手解決下一個任務并同時改善上一個會讓你解決的問題更多。

2. Stamp out micromanagement

2、拒絕微觀管理

Thinking you’re the most knowledgeable and efficient person to handle every single task is one of the most poisonous mindsets you can have. You’re not only proving your distrust for your employees, you’re also wasting countless amounts of time and energy.

認為自己是每一個任務最清楚、最高效的處理者絕對是你的思想大忌之一。這樣不僅證明了你不信任自己的員工，而且還浪費了無數的時間和精力。

Learn to loosen up and let others steer–you may be surprised what kind of innovation will flourish. If you keep focusing on achieving your standard of 80 percent, you’ll be more likely to keep micromanagement at bay.

學會放權，讓別人握一下方向盤 — 你會對因此而出現的創意勃發感到驚訝。如果你堅持 80% 即算完成的理念，就不會陷入微觀管理的陷阱。

3. Stay focused

3、保持專注

As a CEO, founder, or manager, you need to ensure you’re only tackling the tasks that affect company growth. Make no exceptions to this rule and adamantly delegate everything else. There’s only so much time in the day and you’re bound to be busy, so keeping your focus is key. If you find you’re out of things to do, your company could become stagnant.

作為一名 CEO、創始人、或經理，你需要確保只處理那些影響公司發展的任務。堅持這條原則，不要搞例外，堅定地把其他事情委派他人。一天的時間就那么多你肯定會忙的要死，所以保持專注非常關鍵。如果你發現無事可做，你的公司就會停滯不前。

4. Set standards for delegation

4、設立委派標準

The top tasks I tend to delegate to employees are general administration duties like appointment and calendar management, billing, office management, production, and sales. Cutting these out of your day will give you more time to focus on what matters most. Make sure you’re critically evaluating your daily tasks to eliminate those without concrete goals and focus on those you can’t do without.

我委派給員工最多的任務往往是預約、日程安排這些行政管理工作，以及賬務、辦公室管理、生產、銷售等。把這些委派出去你就會有更多的時間專注于最重要的事情。確保你已經認真評估了自己的日常任務，剔除那些沒有具體目標的工作，專注那些只有你能完成的任務。

5. Look at the money factor

5、關注錢的因素

Keeping affordable will help you delegate. One of my fellow members of the Young Entrepreneur Council says he delegates any task that he can pay someone $500 per hour–or less–to accomplish. This sets his own rate at $500 an hour or more–essentially, a million dollar yearly salary. You have to focus on work that has the biggest impact on growth, and delegate everything else–even if it’s an attorney at $350 an hour.

委派要保持一個自己可以承受的程度。我在青年企業家協會認識的一位會員說，他把時薪等于或低于 500 美元的任務都委派給別人。也就是說，他自己的工作價值大于 500 美元 / 小時。換句話說，這意味著他的年薪應該是百萬美元。你必須專注于對發展影響最大的工作，然后把其他委派給別人——哪怕給代理人的薪水是 350 美元 / 小時。

6. Stop owning tasks

6、停止占有任務

If you’re not passing off the ownership of tasks to others, you’re not truly delegating. Give full ownership of the task to the person you want to accomplish it. Stop babysitting your employees and trust that they will be able to accomplish a project in their own way. Limit your guidance to providing them with an achievable outcome.

如果你不把任務的所有權轉交給別人，那就不是真正的委派。要把所有權完全交給你希望執行的那個人。交給他就要信任他，不要再插手，他會用自己的方式完成項目的。給他們的指導要適度，明確可實現的成果即可。
