If you wait until someone is “ready,” you’ll never delegate.
You build readiness one task at a time.
Leaders don’t “decide to delegate.”
They practice it — task by task, person by person.
According to Ken Blanchard, every task has a development level (D1–D4):
• D1: New to the task — needs clear direction
• D2: Some experience — needs structure and encouragement
• D3: Capable but cautious — needs confidence and partnership
• D4: Competent and confident — needs trust and empowerment
Delegation = knowing what each task requires and adjusting leadership style in real time.
Let go where you can.
Coach where you must.
That’s how people grow.
And that’s how leaders multiply impact — not by doing more, but by building more capable people.
What’s one task you can release this week?
