Delegation is an art and a science without which scaling up is not possible. Business owners need to learn to delegate methodically to justify the value of high-cost people. As a business owner, I have made this presentation out my 15 years experience and also theoretical courses / books / blogs and material I read. This can act as a quick guide to the delegation for many!!
