pass-off-the-broom

As a review, unappealing tasks, like sweeping the floor, often come up in the workplace that requires us as leaders to get our hands dirty because we want to effectively lead by example. If we have effectively led our organization, then it is highly likely that one of our subordinates will ask to take over the task. Don’t let your pride, or frustration that you are having to complete the unappealing task, keep you from passing off the broom. It is truly a blessing and a great sign of your impact on your organization that those who report to you are willing to take over. Final point, do not forget to follow up and find out what happened to the janitorial service that was responsible for sweeping the floor!

Good thoughts here. I've also worked for leaders who didn't know when to relinquish the broom
