Alicia,
I used to feel that way, too. Accepting the fact that the delegation is as much about you and your workload as it is about the employee is key to the process. Knowing that you are helping the employee to develop professionally through delegating select tasks which will help to increase his/her skill sets puts a whole different spin on the process. If you do it right, it can, however, take longer to complete the task because of the need to take the time to train. In the end, it really, though, becomes a win-win situation.
