The competitive situations that people are facing today are much more intense and complex than they’ve ever been before. Most often we typically focus on other companies trying to win the same business we’re pursuing, and we label these the “competition”. We identify positioning and relationship-building strategies as important when competing against another company, but there are other serious issues hidden within the client’s own organization that are equally important, and that are frequently overlooked in our strategy. Competition is defined as any alternative solution.

In economics, productivity is the amount of output created (in terms of goods produced or services rendered) per unit input used. For instance, labor productivity is typically measured as output per worker or output per labor-hour.
Production, however, is the act of making things; in particular the act of making products that will be traded or sold commercially. Production decisions concentrate on what goods to produce, how to produce them, the costs of producing them, and optimizing the mix of resource inputs used in their production.

Most of us are aware of the positives from delegating—we’ve heard them before. In theory, it’s a great concept: “Get other people to do your work for you…Awesome!” We also know that, theoretically, we can get more done in less time if we delegate properly. The results of not delegating include burnout, stress, and getting overwhelmed with mundane tasks that distract us from our most important responsibilities. Yet, why is delegation one of the most underutilized skills in organizations today? Why don’t we delegate more? Delegation is actually a learned and applied skill. It takes an understanding of how to do it correctly, and conscious focus to create a habit.

1. Look Inward. You need to know exactly what you want and what the benefits are to obtaining someone else’s money. Think about the goals of the company and what you are trying to accomplish and even think in terms of how your business helps your community (what problem do you solve?).

The General – If you’re a General, you’ve got the most traditional management style there is. An office is like the military, and you are the senior officer in charge. You are the General Patton of the business world. You are in charge of everything. You are a complete and thorough autocrat. Your word goes. If anyone doesn’t do what you want them to do, or if they disagree with you, they’re gone. That’s because you know better than anyone else. Compared to you, Nero was a pushover. The upside is that things get done the way you want them done, and you are respected for your competence and achievements. The downsides? First of all, nobody likes you. There are also problems of staff morale, loyalty, and fear of you (which can inhibit performance). But perhaps the worst downside (and you won’t like reading this) is that because you won’t tolerate arguments, you also won’t get realistic feedback of things you need to know.
