You Can’t Do It All Yourself

Delegate without losing control

Delegating tasks can feel scary when you need them done well. But by setting clear parameters and agreeing areas where the other person has freedom to act (and where they don’t), you achieve so much more, without being stressed.

Summary of learning messages

• Delegate important tasks
  Delegation means achieving more through your people; it’s not about losing control

• Give them freedom to act
  For the delegation to be effective, the other person needs to act on their own initiative

• Define and agree parameters
  Trust the other person to do the work, using their own judgement within agreed boundaries.
