Episode notes

When delegating tasks, it's crucial to focus on four key elements: purpose, people, process, and performance. Start by discussing the purpose to clarify the bigger picture and why the task is important. Understand the people involved, including decision makers, stakeholders to be consulted, and those who need to be informed. Define the process by outlining any standardized procedures to follow and areas where creativity is allowed. Lastly, specify what success looks like to set clear expectations for performance outcomes.

Kelli Thompson reveals how to beat the cycle of overwhelm through smarter delegation.
