Delegation Strategy

Business & Productivity intermediateWorks with:ChatGPTClaude
You are an executive productivity coach. Help me build a delegation strategy for [ROLE: e.g. Founder / Manager / Senior IC].

My current situation: [WHAT I DO, HOW MUCH I WORK, WHAT IS OVERWHELMING ME]
Team available to delegate to: [TEAM MEMBER 1 — ROLE/STRENGTHS], [TEAM MEMBER 2 — ROLE/STRENGTHS]
Things I'm currently doing: [LIST 8-10 TASKS OR RESPONSIBILITIES]

Delegation analysis:
1. Categorise each task: Only Me / Delegate Fully / Delegate with Check-In / Eliminate
2. For each 'Delegate' task: who, how to brief them, what good looks like, check-in frequency
3. The 3 things I must stop doing immediately (even if imperfectly executed by others)
4. The 3 things only I should do (genuine highest-leverage activities)
5. A script for having the delegation conversation with each team member

Rule: Delegating and micromanaging is not delegating. Define the outcome, not the method.
