Reluctant to Delegate

One of the biggest areas I am being stretched in right now is the area of delegation. Simply put, initially, it's not easy.  There are tons of excuses I can make up for not delegating the responsibility of the vision to the leaders around me but one stands out for me like none other...Lack of Time!  Not having enough time to teach another person is one of the biggest reasons I struggle with true delegation, and not delegating is probably the most common reason I don't have enough time.  My inability to truly delegate due to my lack of time is a result of short-term thinking.  The time that I may "lose" on the front end of delegation will definitely be recovered at the back end.  As a leader I need to find the right person(s) to delegate to and be willing to INVEST in the initial training time.
