The 4 D’s Model:
Do — If it’s in your Unique Ability, keep it.
Delegate — If someone else can do it 80% as well or better.
Delete — If it doesn’t truly need to be done.
Delay — If it’s important but not urgent.
Delegation Steps:
Choose the right person (skill + availability + willingness).
Give context, not just tasks — explain the “why” behind the work.
Agree on the outcome — what success looks like.
Set check-in points — when you’ll follow up.
Let go — avoid “yo-yo delegation” (taking the task back).
