However, delegation is not just about assigning tasks and expecting results. It requires careful planning, communication, and feedback.

1 Define your goals and priorities

Before you delegate anything, you need to have a clear vision of what you want to achieve and why. What are your short-term and long-term goals? What are the most important and urgent tasks that need to be done? How do they align with your company's mission and values? By defining your goals and priorities, you can identify the key areas where you need help and where you can add the most value.

2 Choose the right people

Once you know what you need to delegate, you need to find the right people to do it. This means looking at your team's skills, strengths, interests, and availability. You want to delegate tasks that match your team members' capabilities and passions, as well as their level of autonomy and responsibility. You also want to avoid overloading or underutilizing anyone, and ensure a fair and balanced workload. Consider asking your team for their input and preferences, and involve them in the decision-making process.

Most startups fail from within. Almost 60% of the time, it’s relational. That means the founder must grow before expecting others to follow or sacrifice themselves. Yes, you’ve got a lot already. But startups mold people differently than other concerns.

Choosing the right people is foundation of all great companies. In all businesses, but even more so for startups. Large businesses can weather people storms more easily through financial overcompensation. Start ups can’t spare any resources! I teach my companies to focus in two areas: 1) Figure out what functions you need. What seats on the bus are critical to make it work right? Keep specific people (apart from the visionary leader) out of the equation to start. 2) Then, find people that believe what you believe, work the way you work, and want the same things (the Right People). Once you know the functions, you can find the right people to take the mountain with you.

3 Communicate clearly and effectively

Communication is key to successful delegation. You need to communicate your expectations, instructions, deadlines, and feedback to your team members. You also need to listen to their questions, concerns, and suggestions. Communication should be clear, concise, and consistent, using the appropriate channels and tools. You should also establish regular check-ins and updates, to monitor the progress and quality of the work, and provide support and guidance as needed.

Founders have to work diligently in hiring the right team members who they can build the mutual trust with. Trust at the end of the day is a two-way street and delegation will only work if the trust is bidirectional. The trust can be earned with very clear + respectful communication. When delegating, one has to remember that communication plays a very important role. The emphasis has to be on very transparent communication as far as setting expectations on outcomes. The absence of communication around outcomes will skew the results more towards what is understood to be done versus what is expected to be delivered.

4 Empower and trust your team

Delegation is not only about giving tasks, but also giving authority and autonomy. You need to empower and trust your team to make decisions, solve problems, and take ownership of their work. This means avoiding micromanaging, controlling, or interfering with their work, and respecting their opinions and methods. You should also encourage creativity, innovation, and collaboration among your team members, and celebrate their achievements and contributions.

5 Learn and improve

Delegation is a continuous learning process, both for you and your team. You should always seek feedback from your team members, and evaluate the outcomes and impacts of the work. You should also reflect on your own performance and behavior as a leader, and identify your strengths and weaknesses. By learning from your experiences and mistakes, you can improve your delegation skills and optimize your workflow.
