The ASSIGN
Method
TM
"It's quicker to do it myself." Sound familiar? It's the sentence that keeps talented leaders buried in tasks that were never theirs to keep, and keeps their teams waiting for the chance to grow.
The ASSIGN™ Method is a six-step framework that turns delegation from a guilty handover into a leadership skill: Assess the task, Select the right person, Set clear expectations, Identify resources, Give authority and autonomy, and Nurture and support. Follow the steps, and you stop dumping tasks and start developing people. You hand over the authority, not just the to-do list, and you get your time back without losing sight of the outcome.
Because you don't scale by doing more. You scale by trusting more. Every task you hold onto is a growth opportunity you're keeping from someone else.
