Leaders shoulder more responsibility than they need to by:

A. Clinging on to stuff - to avoid overburdening team
B. Hovering around - not letting others work their way
C. Tossing over the assignment & not checking in

Here's a 5-step process that makes delegation dependable:

🔥 Light that fire in your team! Get them pumped and excited. Give the project, meaning so they care about it.

💎 Be crystal clear about what you want because without it employees are left to guess. And no one likes the guessing game.

✨ It's not about you anymore, so step back and let the magic happen. Your team's got brains too, let them use 'em.

📋 Handoffs with no check-ins are a dissatisfaction disaster. A little 'How's it going?' can go a long way. Drop by, don't drop out.

🥳 Throw in a mini-party when it's done or give a big shout-out. Show them you see and value their work.

And most importantly...

Good delegation is not micromanagement, but micro-understanding.

Don't just pass the task, pass the trust. 💛
