Delegate like a Fortune 500 CEO

Leaders don’t fail by doing too less.

They fail from doing too much.

Leadership ≠ Control

Leaders who confuse leadership with control:
– face burnout.
– become the bottleneck in daily operations.
– miss opportunities.

If delegation makes you anxious,
you’re not alone.

But avoiding it is costing you time, trust, and growth.

Here’s how to delegate like a Fortune 500 CEO:

The 4D Framework:
↳ Sort everything:
Do what matters.
Defer what can wait.
Delegate what others can own
Delete what drags you down.

The RACI Model:
↳ Clarify ownership by defining who is:
– Responsible
– Accountable
– Consulted
– Informed.

Eisenhower Matrix:
↳ Prioritise like a strategist:
Urgent + Important? Do it now.
Important, Not Urgent? Delegate.
Neither? Delete.

Fortune 500 Delegation Habits:
1. Know your team’s strengths.
2. Set clear goals and timelines.
3. Empower decisions within boundaries.
4. Follow up, don’t micromanage.
5. Give feedback and room to grow.

Avoid these traps:
– Clinging to control.
– Micromanaging or ghosting after assigning.
– Skipping training and clarity.

Here’s the truth:
You weren’t meant to do it all alone.

Delegation is a skill and a superpower.
It isn’t about giving up control,
it’s about creating capacity.
For growth.
For strategy.
For leadership.

You don’t rise to the top by doing it all.
You rise by knowing what only you should do.
