How to Incrementally Develop Your Direct Reports

When you try to get over an addiction, it's not always a good idea to go "cold turkey" all of a sudden. How do I know? Well, all credit goes to my friend who was so determined to quit smoking, and the only way that worked for him was going the incremental route.

Sometimes, we get so addicted to the position of leadership we're in that we tend to forget. If we want growth for our companies, we need to delegate tasks and roles incrementally until we're finally able to hand over responsibilities.
