Delegating a task with a clear outcome
Delegation works when the person receiving the task understands what completion looks like.
A practical approach
Describe the desired result, relevant context and any boundaries on the decision. Identify the deadline or dependency and where the outcome should be recorded. Ask the owner to raise a blocker early. Avoid assigning a broad instruction such as handle this without explaining which customer or project decision needs to move forward.
Put it into practice
- Define the completed outcome
- Explain decision boundaries
- Specify where to record the result
