Thus, many managers find themselves running out of time while their employees are running out of work they fall behind in their employees' work as well as in their own

This book underscores the value of assigning, delegating, and controlling the "monkeys" that dominate a manager's time by partnering with employees for their "care and feeding It helps hopelessly overwhelmed managers deal with such problems as

Desks piled high with papers voice-mails, and e-mails past the saturation point

Frustrated employees waiting for decisions and actions from the boss

Frustrated bosses wondering why they ever hire anyone if delegation never works

-Falling behind, leaving no time for family and other interests

The inability to say "no"

The belief that "if you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself"

-No time to plan your work, let alone work your plan

Effective managers eliminate reverse delegation by training their employee to become self-reliant (rather than boss-reliant) members of an interdependent team, freeing up time for (1) key personal and professional relationships and (2) planning, organizing, leading, and making sure things stay on track, on time, and under budget.
