# Good managers delegate tasks A good manager knows that their time is precious. Following the Pareto principle, they spend 20% of their time tackling crucial tasks which yield 80% of results. They then delegate the other tasks to their collaborators, which may be more qualified to be in charge of those. However, the manager remains informed and in control; should problems arise, they will step in to help. The free time earned through delegating tasks allows managers to take a step back and think far into the future, so as to remain ahead of their competitors. --- ## 📚 References - [[@michaudManagementStrategique2021|Management stratégique]]
