Delegation fails when you hand off tasks without context. Instead, explain the why and frame the work as a learning opportunity for whoever you're assigning it to. This turns resistance into openness.

When we can delegate from a place of having it aligned with why it matters, then people are more open to do it. Because for me, when I'm dumping and I'm just like, drive by dumping, as you call it, where it's like, I need you to do these five bin. I'm in a position where I'm not like, saying, hey, John, this is why I want this is in task. Here's how it aligns with what we're doing, short or long term. Here's the why behind it. Here's why I am asking you to do it. Instead of a problem being solved, use the unfortunate soul. It's like, hey, who's on the team that would benefit from learning how to figure this out for means or do the task itself? So maybe that's why people aren't successful in delegating as commute.
