💡 Tip — Day 140
Use the Delegation Contract to stop “drive-by delegation” from turning into rework. Delegation is not “Can you handle this?” It’s a small agreement about ownership. 1. Outcome: Define the win. “We need a client-ready draft by Thursday.” 2. Boundaries: Name constraints. “Use the existing template; don’t change pricing.” 3. Authority: Clarify decisions they can make without you. “You can choose the examples and layout.” 4. Checkpoint: Set one review point, not constant hovering. “Send me the outline Tuesday at 3.” This echoes Turn the Ship Around: give control, but make intent clear. 🎯 Try this today: Before handing off one task, write four lines: Outcome, Boundaries, Authority, Checkpoint. Then delegate from that—not from memory.
