Why don’t they do what I want? Tools for effective delegation

While it takes at least 8 years of education and supervised practice to become a P.Eng., very little of that is dedicated toward developing an engineer’s managerial capabilities. Why does it often feel like it is just “easier to do it myself” than assign it to someone else? What is the secret to working smarter rather than harder to get more done in your department?
