How To Delegate-Save Hours Using This Delegation Cheat Sheet

Struggling to Delegate? You’re Not Alone.

After speaking with 100+ leaders, one theme keeps coming up: delegation.

Letting go can be hard but the best leaders know how important it is.

And it makes life better for the whole team!

These frameworks helped me delegate smarter:

1. 70% Rule: Delegate when someone can do the task 70% as well as you.
2. RACI Matrix: Define who’s Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed.
3. Eisenhower Matrix: Prioritize by urgency & importance.
4. 80/20 Rule: Focus on the 20% of tasks that drive 80% of outcomes.

Here’s my 6-step roadmap to master delegation:

1. Pick the right tasks to delegate.
2. Choose the best person based on their skills.
3. Give clear instructions.
4. Agree on the first deadline—together.
5. Define what success looks like.
6. Empower your team to make decisions.

Remember: You don’t have to do it all, you need a team who can.
