This is for managers who want to delegate AND maintain a high bar for quality of work. Here are the 5 tactics I learned over time that made delegating easier.
Great distillation of this perennial area of struggle in management/leadership. I really like the concept of delegation as a spectrum rather than a binary.
This is an EXCELLENT article on this topic - i loved the parts about psychological weight, refusing to accept mediocre (I think its the job of the manager to coach to that bar), the task relevant maturity — what a great way to more easily assess do i have the right people on the team and what are the gaps if there are any, then I’d wonder how that impacts the timelines and likelihood of success. It may require bolstering a team with additional talent depending on the importance of the project relative to the broader goals. Thank you - what a great share!!
So important! I loved reading about the CEDAF framework, I've done some form of that but am looking forward to implementing this and seeing how it impacts my creative kickoffs with my team. I tend to struggle with 5 when working with more junior teams. Very thoughtful read 🤟🏽
I read about the 10/50/99% feedback framework some time ago and think it's great, specially when managing junior and mid-level people as well as for new/uncertain tasks.
Also, Dan Martell, author of 'Buy back your time' explains the concept of transformational leadership to avoid doing the work and not delegating. He usually says that "75% done by others is great". Highly recommended.
