“Harlan is an exceptional professional who consistently exceeds expectations. Initially hired as a deputy editor at Forbes Advisor, Harlan's outstanding performance led to a swift promotion to lead editor on the credit cards and travel rewards team. His rapid growth is a testament to his adaptability and commitment to excellence. Harlan's meticulous attention to detail ensured the highest quality in our content, while his leadership skills fostered a positive and productive team environment. Beyond his core responsibilities, Harlan expertly managed cross-team collaborations, serving as the primary liaison for a critical data platform integration. His positive attitude and genuine compassion for colleagues set him apart as a valuable team member. I wholeheartedly recommend Harlan for any editorial or leadership role; any organization would be fortunate to have him on board. I also sincerely hope that our paths will cross both professionally and personally again.”

Here's how you can balance workload when delegating tasks.
If the task is one that will appear with regularity, take time to clearly outline the process and expected result. If it's a one off, consider if it will take longer to explain or write the email than to just do it yourself. Delegation is powerful, but not everything needs to be delegated. A rule of thumb is if it takes less than five minutes, do it now. It's the little tasks that carry a lot of weight–but they're also a source of quick wins when used effectively. #EatTheFrog

How can you find the best content creation tools for optimizing your social media strategy?
The tool you choose will probably be capable of posting to multiple networks, but you probably don't need them all. Start with one platform—you may find it's enough. Each one has strengths, so play up to them. Do you want to feature videos and photos? Are you more interested in connecting with peers or thought leadership? Consider the audience and the goals for posting. Also, it's not enough to just post. You must also respond and interact. Remember, it's about building community. Finally, understand that no tool will have immediate results. It takes consistent work to deliver results, so choose one you're comfortable using.
