The Owl and The Beetle - Thursday Memo

I had the privilege of mentoring several managers throughout my career, and many expressed stress when delegating tasks to their reports.

The popular notion that a good manager should get out of the way and let people get things done does not capture the complexity of delegation. The best managers I know understand that delegation is a skill that requires thoughtful design and consideration of the unique project and people involved.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to delegation, as each situation is unique.

In this article, I will explore the following:

➡️ Why you should delegate more often than not.
📋 Processes and tools to determine which tasks should be delegated and how.
🙋 How to implement a culture of delegation in your team.
🚀 How to delegate with confidence avoiding the most common mistakes.
