Description
Content

Delegation never happens in a vacuum. Through systems, the world will always interfere and can sometimes seem to do its best to scupper our endeavours. Systems are defined here as forces we can’t control – personal, social, physical, economic, political, and more – that influence the success or failure of our endeavours. Because system forces ripple along to us through the medium of people, we can mitigate their effect through relationships. We need “big” relationships with the right people because it is relationships, and not action, that are the true origin of the results we want.
