Delegation isn’t a handoff—it’s a transfer of vision.
If you’re frustrated because people keep “missing the mark,” here’s a gut-check:
Did you actually define the mark?
Vague asks lead to vague results.
“We need to get this done” is not a clear assignment.
“Own the rollout plan and present three options by Thursday” is.
Leadership isn’t just assigning tasks—it’s framing outcomes.
Today, look at what you’ve delegated recently.
Ask yourself: Did I define the win?
If not, follow up. Clarify. Reset.
Don’t assume people know what you want.
Most people aren’t underperforming—they’re under-informed.
I loved the first line that stated…”Delegation isn’t a handoff—it’s a transfer of vision.” Keep the good teaching coming!
