Real delegation requires you to let go of responsibilities so that others can take them up and grow in capability. This book explores what you’ll delegate, proposing three categories: tasks, processes and outcomes. How well the delegation is conceived and articulated matters, so we explore the rigour and precision needed in the language of goal-setting techniques, and we encourage more ambitious delegation with a discussion of ‘Courageous’ goals. A thought-provoking case study shows just how much the ambitious delegator needs to let go, and how to do that.
