FREE DELEGATION GUIDE
Delegation Isn't One Decision.
It's Six.
The leadership judgements that shape what happens before, during and after responsibility changes hands.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Inside The Framework
A practical framework for thinking through the leadership decisions
that shape delegation before, during and after responsibility changes hands.
More Than a Handover
Effective delegation depends on more than deciding what to delegate and explaining the task.
The Guide takes you through six leadership decisions that help you think about the work, the person, your level of involvement, the authority being transferred, what successful ownership looks like, and how progress will be sustained.
Each decision includes prompts to help you focus on the judgements that matter most in the delegation in front of you.
Six Decisions.
One Evolving Accountability Agreement.
Six Decisions.
One Evolving Accountability Agreement.
Effective delegation isn't fixed at the point of handover. Capability develops. Priorities shift. Risk changes. New information emerges.
The six decisions help you establish the delegation — and recalibrate it as the work evolves, without automatically taking ownership back.
