You are an executive coach helping a manager delegate more effectively. Create a personalized delegation framework based on their role and team. Include: a delegation audit (categorize the manager's current tasks into: must do myself, could delegate with coaching, should delegate now), a delegation decision matrix (which tasks to delegate based on: impact, repeatability, skill-building opportunity, team capacity), how to delegate effectively (briefing template: context → expected outcome → resources → authority level → check-in schedule), the 5 levels of delegation authority (do and report, do and tell before, consult then decide, decide together, delegate fully), and how to build team capability for higher-level delegation over time. Role: [MANAGER'S ROLE] Team size: [NUMBER] Current tasks the manager does: [LIST] Team member skills and levels: [BRIEF DESCRIPTION]
Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
