Be a Better Delegator.

People at start-ups have to scale, but so do managers at large companies. The same mindset applies here, especially around finding the right people and delegating to them.

Here are 3 must-dos for effective delegation:

1. Explain the context. Don't tell people what to do, tell them what the outcome needs to look like and why. That way they can make good decisions in the right direction.
2. Mid-point check-in. When you've delegated a large project, have them let you know when they will set up time with you to check-in, so you can review their progress.
3. Debrief. At the end of a project, you've delegated reserve time to review how it went and, most importantly, lessons learned. The key to increasing people's capacity - and being able to delegate more - is for them to learn as rapidly as possible. Debriefing accelerates this process.
