Effective delegation without authority
summary
Outlines a concrete method: rank tasks by a delegation threshold using four factors — clarity, engagement, recognition, complexity — then craft and write the story that ties problem to measurable impact. Shows how to match work to people by their learning goals, break dependencies, hand over docs and authority, and set up success criteria. Treats delegation like a sales pitch: optimize what makes someone want the work, measure the outcome, and iterate when priorities shift.
