5 Steps to Effective Delegation
Hello and welcome to Episode 306 of The People Powered Business Podcast.
In this episode, I’m diving into a topic that sounds simple but is far harder than it should be: delegation. If you constantly feel like you’re the only one who can do things properly, or you’re frustrated that your team just doesn’t get it, the issue usually isn’t your people, it’s your delegation process. I unpack why delegation feels so hard for so many business owners and leaders, especially when no one ever taught us how to do it properly and our teams can’t read our minds.
I then walk you through my five-step framework for effective delegation, starting with deciding what you should actually be delegating, not just offloading tasks out of frustration. We talk about getting clear on the outcome so success is tangible, giving context so your team understands the bigger picture, agreeing on boundaries to create clarity and trust, and setting follow-ups that support accountability without micromanaging. Delegation done well isn’t about control, it’s about coaching, building capability and freeing you up to focus on the work that really matters in your business.
Your action after listening is simple: pick one task you’re currently holding onto and delegate it using all five steps. Notice how different it feels when expectations are clear, context is shared and follow-up is planned from the start.
