When two people join forces to accomplish a big, uncommon result, the communication between them must grow correspondingly richer and more intense. Feedback is the ‘pipe’ through which flow the nutrients of encouragement, advice, and challenge from delegator to delegatee, and back through which flow to the delegator essential intelligence about the endeavour. ‘Big’ ongoing conversations are needed to hold the delegatee to account in a way that builds mutual trust, confidence, and goal-excitement. We set out a simple method you can use for conducting the Delegation Feedback Conversation.
