Delegation isn’t just “do it or don’t.”
Use this quick-reference table based on Michael Hyatt’s 5 Levels of Delegation:
| Level | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Do exactly what I’ve asked | “Here’s the email template. Send it exactly like this.” |
| 2 | Research and report back | “Find 3 options and show me the pros and cons.” |
| 3 | Research and recommend | “Bring me the best plan and suggest how to move forward.” |
| 4 | Decide and inform me | “Make the decision and update me afterward.” |
| 5 | Decide and take full ownership | “Run with it. I trust you.” |
👊 Challenge: Pick one task you’re holding too tightly—and practice delegating it
at the right level this week.
