Susan,
This is where good delegating kicks in. Asking others to take on additional responsibilities needs to take into consideration what that person might gain by way of professional development by doing so. We talk about the WIIFM. If there is nothing in it for the employee, employee morale will plummet as will job satisfaction. But if you give serious thought to what new skills can be gained, it does become a win-win situation.
