Description

With her company on the brink of disaster, a leader hungrily tackles the art of delegation, learning three models on the way. 

The episode frames delegation as being primarily about getting your people ready.

To get people ready, screen each delegated task against three filters:

  1. Skills & Will – do people need training or coaching?
  2. Control – who has it and how much?
  3. Measurement – what is each person’s responsibility?

Our latest Tool has all three filters. Download it for free here.
