The 6-Step Model That Makes Delegation Actually Stick

from Leading in Change · host Success Labs

You already know you should delegate more. The problem is actually doing it.In this episode, Gloria McConnell and Adrian Owen Jones get honest about why delegation is so hard and why the reasons you think you can't delegate are the very reasons you should. In this episode, we walk through what good delegation actually looks like in practice: from how to describe a task clearly enough that someone else can actually do it, to how to build checkpoints that protect both you and the person you're delegating to, to the critical difference between someone who can't do something and someone who won't.They also cover the six-step delegation model used inside Success Labs' Essentials Lab program, the micromanagement distinction that changes everything, and what to do when you've tried to delegate and ended up doing it yourself anyway.This is one of the most common challenges Gloria sees in coaching across industries, levels, and organizations. And while it never fully goes away, it does get easier when you treat delegation like the learned skill it actually is.If you liked this episode, please leave us a review to help our episodes reach more listeners!Register for our next Essentials Lab on July 15-16th in Baton Rouge, LA using the link below.🗳️ Register for our next Essentials Leadership Lab.📺 Watch & Subscribe on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/@successlabshq📲 Follow us LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook📬 Subscribe to our monthly newsletter, Notes from the Lab
