What this is
A practical course on deciding what to delegate, writing clear briefs, finding and vetting freelancers, setting check-ins and quality standards, and handling feedback. The course is organized into 6 modules — what to delegate, options, the brief, authority and oversight, working with contractors and review and feedback — with 18 lessons in total, so you build the skill in a sensible order and can return to any part when you need it.
It does not promise that every delegated task will be done exactly as you would do it, or that outsourcing will always save money. It gives you a method for choosing what to delegate, briefing it clearly and checking work without micromanaging.
What you will be able to do
- Identify tasks you should stop doing yourself
- Decide between delegating internally, hiring or outsourcing
- Write a delegation brief with outcome, constraints and deadline
- Choose a level of authority and check-in rhythm
- Review delegated work and give useful feedback

Free PreviewMost people delegate badly for one reason: they hand over a task without saying how much decision-making power comes with it.

Level 1: do exactly what I […]
