Moms & the Art of Delegation

12 Tips for Getting Other People to Do Your Work for You

You Can't Control Everything

OK. You know it makes sense to delegate. Well-run businesses are built on this principle. The Keebler Elves don’t juggle any actual cookie baking with their promotional duties. Production is, in fact, delegated to non-animated real people. 

Now if Head Elf Ernie wanted to get super picky about chocolate chip placement, this would never work. Similarly, if he really hated inconveniencing anyone else to package and deliver products, they would never make it to the grocery in time to tempt you from the cookie aisle.

So can you let go a little? C’mon. Release the reins and walk away from the vacuum cleaner.
