Delegate by Design: Weigh Readiness, Risk, and Results

Explore a range of delegation approaches and match your level of involvement to each person and task. Draw on this model when you want to build trust, grow your team, and stay informed. A visual of the range and sample language show what each approach sounds like.

You might reach for this resource if:

• You’re newer to managing and still too close to the details
• You’ve gotten feedback to be more strategic and less tactical
• You finally delegated more, as everyone suggested, and the work fell flat
• You want to stay informed and trust your team to deliver
• You're ready to help your team grow toward greater independence
