Too much delegation and you lose the trust and respect of your team, and you also lose the necessary understanding of the details of the work. Too little delegation and you don't use the resources at your disposal effectively, you undermine your team members, and you risk deteriorating morale and trust among your team members. Striking the right balance is very important.

Effective leaders are very intentional about finding the right balance between delegating to their team members and doing the work themselves. By appropriately delegating to their team members, effective leaders empower their team, build and strengthen trust with their team, create an environment of growth for the team, and use the resources of the organization effectively.
