Yes, individuals that have more than they can handle in a workload or task will burn out more quickly, causing not just the person but the tam as a whole to perform at a low level. Delegation and understanding the strength and weaknesses of your team members will enhance the delegation process and the team as a whole.

Hi Mark,

Yes, performance may fall off if team members are overloaded, but this rarely happens in our industry.

In most cases you have an average performer telling you they are overworked. Don't get sucked into re-distributing work off of a mediocre player's desk because they can't get the job done.

Stay fair and objective and encourage all
team members to work smarter rather than harder.
