We have a rule
for road trips
– the driver
chooses the music.
They have control
over the little things
that make
their job easier.
This thinking
applies to
delegating tasks also.
When we delegate a task,
yes,
outline the important things
that must be accomplished.
But leave the little things
to the person
we’re delegating the tasks to.
If a social media post
is to be scheduled,
for example,
yes, tell the person
when that post should go live.
But maybe don’t tell them
the hour of the day
they should craft the post.
Don’t tell them
what they should be wearing
while crafting the post.
Don’t tell them
not to listen to music
while they craft the image-only post.
Leave the little details
to the person you’re delegating
the task to.
