By Lisa Martin

Leadership Skills: Let It Go! Delegate Effectively to Increase the Value and Productivity of Your Team and YOU
By Marian Cook
Today's increased speed and workload can decrease our ability to think through the best ways to get things done. In the rush of the moment we may think it is easier to do things ourselves then delegate, or we delegate to whomever happens to be nearest to us. How, then, can we effectively and systematically make sure we get the right things done through the right people? What is delegation, and what is the right way to do it?

Upcoming Network Events
"At a recent WITI Boston event, I met a former client from 10 years ago when I worked for another company. We sat together at the meeting and got re-acquainted. Since then, my former client has introduced me to several IT executives at their firm to generate interest in our services, which may lead to new business. This demonstrates that networking and participating in WITI events can have very positive results...both professionally and personally."
