Delegating tasks that fit your team
Delegating sounds simple. So why do tasks so often end up back on your desk? Usually, it’s because tasks, strengths and responsibilities within the team don’t quite match yet.
Sound familiar?
When delegating creates more work than doing it yourself
You hand off a task – and it comes back different than expected. You have to follow up, make corrections and sometimes end up doing it yourself after all. That costs time and leads to frustration on both sides.
01
A task comes back different than expected – so you step in to fix it or do it yourself.
02
Responsibilities have evolved over time, not because they match people’s strengths.
03
Doing it yourself is faster – which is exactly why tasks keep landing back with you.
04
After changes, roles and tasks no longer fit – work gets left undone or done twice.
Our solution
Who is especially good at what?
In two days, we make it visible who is good at what – and where friction arises when a task is in the wrong hands. No pigeonholing: just delegating tasks so they stay delegated. If you want the new allocation to hold up in everyday business, the next step is our Implementation Support.
Who is this format for?
- Leadership teams that want to better align tasks and responsibilities with existing strengths.
- Managers and their teams who want to delegate without losing control or oversight.
- Teams where work gets left undone, done twice or ends up back with the manager.
- Teams going through change, for example when new employees join or roles need to be reassigned.
What you’ll walk away with after two days
- Clarity on who in your team excels at what, and what each person needs to do their best work.
- A concrete new allocation of the actual tasks.
- An understanding of what you as a manager can truly let go of – instead of delegating and then still weighing in.
- A picture of how your team works together: where strengths complement each other and where they clash.
How the two days work
Strengths first, then tasks
Two days are enough to get a clearer picture of your team – and to delegate tasks in the future so they stay where they belong.
1
Bringing strengths to light
Day 1: We look at the strengths of each team member. Some bring structure, others are quick to take action, and still others keep track of multiple topics at once.
2
Synergy and friction
We explore how strengths within the team complement or clash with each other. By the end of the day, it’s clear who excels at what and what each person needs to do their best work.
3
Redefining tasks
Day 2: Does the current distribution of tasks match the strengths identified the day before? What can you actually let go of, instead of delegating it and then stepping back in?
4
Delegation that sticks
You leave with a concrete new allocation and know going forward who brings which strengths – so delegating tasks means less rework.
