Empower Your Team: Delegate with Clarity
Define the task's scope, desired outcome, and clear deadline. Empower the delegate with necessary autonomy and resources. Establish specific check-in points but resist micromanaging. Trust their process; evaluate results, not methods. Provide constructive feedback post-completion.

The 'problem with delegating' isn't delegation itself, but often poor execution. Ineffective delegation—unclear instructions, lack of trust, or micromanagement—creates more work, not less. It disempowers your team, stifles their growth, and bottlenecks progress. By delegating effectively with clear outcomes and trust, you free up your time for higher-level strategic tasks, develop your team's capabilities, and boost overall productivity. This transforms a task assignment into a growth opportunity for everyone, reducing re-work and improving morale.
