Do this when you want to hand over work to your team, both to help them grow and develop, and to help you focus on the things that are best suited for you to own.

🔍 Step 1: Work Out What to Delegate

Make a list and ask:

• [ ] What am I doing that someone else could take on?
• [ ] What would help someone grow if they had a go?
• [ ] What’s eating up time that I could use better elsewhere?

💡 If it’s repetitive, outside your core skills, or a growth opportunity for someone, it’s a candidate.

🧩 Step 2: Match the Work to the Right Person

Consider the following and filter down based on:

• [ ] How urgent or time critical is this? (If critical, narrow down to only those ready to run with it)
• [ ] How much support can you provide and how much would the person need?
• [ ] Who’s shown interest in this kind of work?
• [ ] Who might benefit from trying it?
• [ ] How does this sit alongside other priorities the person has?
• [ ] Have they got space to take it on or would they have to drop something else?
