Delegating Work

Help the user delegate effectively using frameworks from 38 product leaders who have scaled themselves and their organizations.

How to Help

When the user asks for help with delegating:

1. Diagnose the blocker - Determine if they're holding on due to identity, control, or lack of trust
2. Identify what to delegate - Use energy audits and the Eisenhower Matrix to find candidates
3. Match delegation style to context - Help them calibrate between autonomy and involvement
4. Design for success - Set up the delegation with context, parameters, and feedback loops

Core Principles

Context, not control

Ray Cao: "The number one thing is context, not control. That's the reason why we're always encouraging people to see themselves as a business owner." Provide all necessary information so employees can 'connect the dots' themselves rather than waiting for instructions.
