I've read a few of the posts about common mistakes and how-to's, and Alison Green is absolutely spot on for so many of them! And that's just in my current company! Her insights are truly priceless and should be read by students, interns, fresh graduates and everyone all the way up to CEO! Some of the best and most succinct insights I've come across for a long time.

I went through a phase that when something less-than-interesting arose, I felt guilty asking someone else to do it - so I did it myself. Which is silly because if it's too 'low brow' for the team, why should it be OK for the boss?

One more thing to add to the article: I've always felt it's easier to delegate an *established* process rather than a *new* set of responsibilities.
