Delegation . . . Success Attitudes

Here we have another evaluation which is going to require you to answer
the questions with a number from 1 to 7. If you will recall, 1 means the 
question is nothing like you and 7 means it is exactly like you. In between,
the numbers 1 to 3 mean varying degrees of nothing like me,  4 is in
the middle of the road and 5 to 7 are degrees of exactly like me. Please 
respond thoughtfully to each statement by placing the appropriate number
in the box [   ] that you believe best describes the degree to which each
statement is true for you. If you are not satisfied with some of your
responses even though they are true and accurate, develop a plan for
modifying your attitudes through adopting new behaviors. You now know 
how to do that since it was covered in "Success Through Time Management".
Now, add those items to your Master List of Time Management Goals.
The ability to Delegate effectively begins with attitudes as you will readily
see as you go through this exercise. Good Luck!
