If someone on the team is better at something than you, let them lead that part. That’s not losing, that’s managing.

Holding on to a job you are second best at costs the group the difference. People do it anyway because handing it over feels like an admission, as though rank depends on being the most skilled at everything. It does not. Knowing who is strongest where, and arranging things accordingly, is a separate skill of its own.

Name one area where somebody around you is clearly better and hand them that piece this week. Say it directly rather than quietly stepping back. You keep responsibility for the whole thing, which was always the part that was yours.
