The step before this one also seems to be hard for many small organisations that I've worked with. Before you can delegate - you have to have somebody to delegate to. I've lost count of the number of folk who slog themselves to the bone long after the time when it would have been sensible to grow the company with a few extra people. For some people having other people in the company, let alone actually letting them make decisions, seems to be a chasm they find it hard to cross.
