The excerpt is a short leadership monologue by a single speaker (labeled SPEAKER A) offering advice on delegation after stepping into a leadership role—urging leaders to let go of tasks they still hold onto (even those they enjoy or built) so others can grow, and emphasizing that delegation is about empowerment and development rather than offloading work.

Or a more powerful question to ask is this, what am I continuing to do since stepping up into a new leadership position that I really should let go of and delegate to someone else? It's likely you'll be holding on to stuff you enjoy doing, or a process you built, or a relationship that you built that is important, but you are no longer the one to be leading on it. And remember, delegation isn't about offloading stuff or dumping stuff on your people. It's about empowerment and development. It helps others grow whilst freeing you up to focus on the things that only you and you alone can do.
