Delegation transfers responsibility for an outcome within agreed boundaries. Assigning a task while retaining every decision can create frustration and leave the manager as the main bottleneck.
Explain the result, deadline, available resources and limits. Confirm that the person understands the task and can raise problems early. Choose check-ins based on experience and risk rather than requiring approval for every small step.
Review the outcome and the decisions made along the way. Give feedback that helps the person handle similar work more independently. Keep accountability clear without taking over whenever the approach differs from the manager's preference.
