Struggling to Delegate? Try These 3 Steps!

Delegation feels risky—especially if you're new to management or naturally hands-on. Here's a simple 3-step shortcut that can help you delegate confidently and empower your team:

1. Clarify the What, not the How
Clearly define what success looks like, then step aside. Resist the temptation to micromanage the method.

2. Trust the Process (Even if It's Not Yours)
Let your team members do it their own way. Remember, someone trusted you along the way—and it helped you grow.

3. Coach, Don't Criticize
Mistakes will happen. Great leaders coach their team through challenges, creating lessons not lectures. Then give them another chance to apply what they learned.

The beauty of delegation? It develops leaders around you while freeing you to focus on the bigger picture.
