Question For You?
What do you think makes delegation hard for leaders — even when they know it’s important?
In the last Practice Lab, we focused on delegation — a skill most leaders know they should use, but often struggle to practice consistently.
For anyone who wasn’t there, here’s the quick background:
Delegation is the intentional transfer of responsibility, authority, and accountability to another person — while the leader maintains ultimate ownership of the results.
It’s not about dumping tasks. It’s about developing others, protecting your focus, and strengthening the whole team.
We walked through five simple steps:
- Choose the right person
- Explain the why
- Set clear expectations
- Confirm understanding and authority
- Follow up and support
