How to Help

When the user asks for help with delegating:

Diagnose the blocker - Determine if they're holding on due to identity, control, or lack of trust

Identify what to delegate - Use energy audits and the Eisenhower Matrix to find candidates

Match delegation style to context - Help them calibrate between autonomy and involvement

Design for success - Set up the delegation with context, parameters, and feedback loops

Core Principles

Context, not control

Ray Cao: "The number one thing is context, not control. That's the reason why we're always encouraging people to see themselves as a business owner." Provide all necessary information so employees can 'connect the dots' themselves rather than waiting for instructions.
