Advice on how you effectively delegate and QA work? I am a Director and have trouble accepting quality standards when others do work and far too often find myself having to just do it.

You have to take the time to challenge your standards, develop people and prioritize:
1. Classify what is important vs nice to have. Will this change make a difference or is it just me being picky?
2. Provide comments and/or sit with them through it and explain so they learn why it matters. Content is always important but sometimes presentation is equally so, but people don’t always understand why, so you need to explain.
3. Is your time better spent doing this or something else?

I am a manager and I can say that the directors I have worked with would save a lot of time for themselves if they follow P1’s point #1.

If you default to doing it yourself then you are not leading or building capability within the team. P1’d advice is great, especially #1. Understand that there may be more than one way to get to a destination, more than one format that works — not just your way.
