You can delegate a lot of things, but you can't delegate PRAYER. I'd rather have one GOD idea than a thousand GOOD ideas.

Mark Batterson

Delegate it to the manager. You have this really good staff that will take care of everything for you. You just have to delegate it and trust it.

Esther Hicks

You can delegate authority, but you cannot delegate responsibility.

Byron Dorgan

Government is necessary, but the only rights we can delegate to government are the ones we possess. For example, we all have a natural right to defend ourselves against predators. Since we possess that right, we can delegate authority to government to defend us. By contrast, we don't have a natural right to take the property of one person to give to another; therefore, we cannot legitimately delegate such authority to government.

Walter E. Williams

Don't be a bottleneck. If a matter is not a decision for the President or you, delegate it. Force responsibility down and out. Find problem areas, add structure and delegate. The pressure is to do the reverse. Resist it.

Donald Rumsfeld

I say, "This is my objective" and when I stick to it, I succeed. When I deviate, I'm in trouble. Do what you do best and delegate the rest. There are things I do better than others, and there are things I'm horrible at and I delegate those.

Michael Franzese

Robert S. Kaplan

When you delegate tasks, you create followers. When you delegate authority, you create leaders.

Craig Groeschel

Huda Kattan

Sometimes you just have to be willing to delegate and not feel like you're the only one with the answer.

Ronald D. Moore

Surround yourself with great people; delegate authority; get out of the way

Ronald Reagan

The kind of work you do, when you do it, how much of it there is, and who you delegate it to are often the cause of the quasi-schizophrenic behavior seen in many business owners and entrepreneurs.

Michael Gerber

Artists are in the imagining/ prototyping business. Society needs people to be out there thinking of what might be. That cannot be something we just delegate to politicians or technologists.
