"Delegation Depends on What They See"

In yesterday’s email, we met an ex-England basketball player who had to slow down his game because opponents in lower leagues couldn’t see the fake.

This happens in leadership too. You delegate a task and expect a certain outcome… but something gets lost.

The issue?
You see the full picture. The context. The dependencies. The why.
They might not.

The leader’s perspective isn’t the same as the receiver’s. What’s obvious to you might be invisible to them.

Delegation isn’t just giving a task. It’s helping someone see what you see, so they can act with the same clarity.

More on how to match your pace with theirs tomorrow.

Until then,
