Delegation Frameworks

TTool · Delegation Frameworks

By , Editor · · What’s Next

You're in every decision. Your calendar is wall-to-wall. The team waits for you to weigh in before moving. You tell yourself it's faster this way.

Delegation frameworks are structured models — like Delegation Poker, which defines levels from "tell" through to full delegation — for transferring responsibility and authority at the right level. You match the degree of autonomy to the person's capability, set clear expectations, and establish checkpoints.

A seven-rung ladder of delegation levels numbered 01 TELL through 07 DELEGATE (TELL, SELL, CONSULT, AGREE, ADVISE, INQUIRE, DELEGATE) spanning a spectrum from MANAGER DECIDES to TEAM DECIDES, captioned "Match autonomy to capability. Name the level."
