Delegating without losing control: a four-question method
A manager who does not delegate burns out and holds the team back. Four questions are enough to start.
Many managers know they should delegate. They hesitate, afraid the work will be done badly or more slowly than they would do it.
1. What? Choose a specific, recurring and useful task, not a vague problem.
2. To whom? Think skills, but also the wish to grow. Delegation is also a development lever.
3. What result? Describe the expected outcome, the deadline and the limits of decision, not the way to do it.
4. What follow-up? Set short check-ins at first, then space them out. Checking the result is not checking the person.
Accept a learning period. The first times take longer: it is an investment.
In manager or team coaching, we work on what you are still holding on to, and why.
