 Vacations are a good time to take rest and recover energy, but When this moment arrives, some managers don´t take the time or go out for a few days “stick” with the notebooks and blackberries…

The vacation time it is very important for a Manager, nevertheless be in the office allows him to resolve any issue inmediatly, this happen more often when the manager don´t know how to delegate. A Manager knows that it is impossible to do everything by himself, but sometimes them avoid to delegate tasks. There are four causes because manager don´t delegate:

- “I can´t delegate, because I need to control it everything”

 This atitud show a lack of confidence to his employees, to resolve this, remember that confidence can be built based on:
 - Comunication: as a manager you need to talk and listen to the members of your team
- Compromise: your co-workers must be align with the enterprise goals.
- Competence: you must be surrounded for the best people you can

- “I have no time to teach the task, so I do it by myself”

The reality is the opposite. A Manager must have a time to teach to his employees. Each task that no teach avoid our growth capability in the enterprise, instead of think that teach a task is a waste of time, you must think in this as an investment.

- “I do the job better than nobody”

If you think in this way, maybe you are not a good leader.Great leader surround with people better than himself, so they can complement their own capabilities.

- “The task it is so important to be delegated”
