The Delegation Framework
Stop being the bottleneck. This framework shows you exactly what to delegate, how to delegate it, and how to let go without losing control.
What's Included:
- ✓The 3-tier decision framework (what they own, what they recommend, what you own)
- ✓Task audit template to identify what's delegatable
- ✓Delegation conversation script
- ✓How to set clear expectations without micromanaging
- ✓Feedback loop template for checking in without hovering
- ✓When to take a task back (and when to let them learn)
Who This Is For
- • Business owners who can't take a vacation
- • Managers who review everything
- • Leaders whose team asks permission for everything
- • Anyone who says "it's faster if I just do it myself"
Why it works: This isn't theory. It's the exact framework we use with clients to shift from founder-dependent to team-empowered operations.

The 3-Tier Decision Framework
Tier 1: They Own It
Decisions they can make without asking. They inform you after, if at all.
Examples: Scheduling, client communication within guidelines, routine operational choices
Tier 2: They Recommend
They bring you a recommendation. You approve or coach. They're building judgment.
Examples: Hiring, vendor selection, process changes, client issues outside normal scope
Tier 3: You Own It
Strategic decisions that shape the business. They provide input, you decide.
Examples: Pricing strategy, major investments, business direction, key partnerships
The key: Most things should be Tier 1. If everything's in Tier 2 or 3, you're the bottleneck. The framework helps you move decisions down over time as trust and systems build.
