iam a third generation new yorker. If i want something, i am going to tell you to your face, ther no mistaking that i want it. Volunteering for assignments looks very different in different cultures. Many individual contributors and organizations who need to get some things off their plate don't have somebody to formally handid to. I think recognizing that delegation is a request, not a command,. especially with peers, right? So the definition of a request is something to which somebody can say yes, no, or make a counter offer. And once they've said yes, you got to hold them accountableor results in the same way you might to a direct report, right?
