delegating-work

Frameworks for delegating effectively by diagnosing blockers, matching delegation style to context, and building team autonomy. Help the user delegate effectively using frameworks from 38 product leaders who have scaled themselves and their organizations. When the user asks for help with delegating: Ray Cao: "The number one thing is context, not control. That's the reason why we're always encouraging people to see themselves as a business owner." Provide all necessary information so employees can 'connect the dots' themselves rather than waiting for instructions. Boz: "One of the most powerful things we do is refuse to rule. Someone will bring me a thing. I'll be like, 'Nope, but look, I think you've got it.'" Intentionally step back when the team is struggling with the 'right' problems to build their autonomy. Cam Adams: "Finding joy in the other things of building a team, passing on your experience, helping other people do great writing or great product building is really what giving away your Lego is about." Find fulfillment in enabling others to succeed rather than holding onto tasks for personal identity.
