Want to Delegate Better? Start with These Six Questions
Most delegation problems start before the handoff ever happens.
The Delegation Matrix I designed for my clients uses six-questions to help clarify what to delegate and why.
Before assigning any task, ask yourself:
1. Do I enjoy this work?
2. How much time does it take?
3. What skill level is required?
4. Does it directly impact revenue?
5. Am I the only one who can do this?
6. How urgent is it?
When you look at work through this lens, the right tasks to delegate become obvious.
