Well there's a tonne of great books and articles posted here.

There's some simple stuff that seems worth pointing out:

1. You need to do it more often. Education 10%, Exposure 20% and Experience 70% as a rule of thumb for learning.

If you want to be better at managing, then practice managing more. You're not losing time for solo dev work, you are gaining a new skill.

2. Get a close mentor you can shadow for that 20% exposure time.

3. For delegation, practice using CPORT.C – Context. P – Purpose. O – Outcome in terms of quality and quantity. R – Resources. Then get fast at it by creating systems that do it for you. Queues are your friend.

Have fun.
