Are your people in the right seats? If they are not, you will be frustrated, they will be frustrated, and, as a result, you will never be able to completely delegate and elevate. You will always be forced to do their work and will not be able to let go of the vine.
In order for someone to be in the right seat, to step up, and to ultimately fill the opening you have created, he or she must get it, want it, and have the capacity to do the job. If any one of the three is a “no,” it is never going to happen ... 99.9 percent of the time.
