when delegating...

when delegating:

  • be clear on what you need, communicate the desired outcome (unless the outcome is unknown and is part of the work to be delegated...but even then, that's an outcome!)

  • checkin as needed to make sure delegates approach/plan is as expected; ask questions as needed
  • multiple solutions may work, so be flexible on expectations
  • bias toward action & experiment


you may (or may not) need a summary of what's going on and who's doing it, status etc. to show to your manager

but honestly it can be difficult especially with larger initiatives (months, multiple teams etc) to know when to jump in and when not to
