Why You Can’t Delegate (And It’s Not Your Team’s Fault)

Every role you delegate gets paid for in one of two currencies: salary or detail. In this solo episode of Above The Business, Bradley Hamner walks through a four-rung delegation ladder, from a one-paragraph vision down to a click-by-click script. He explains how to match the level of detail to the person you actually hired. He shares a recent example from his own team, where years of experience running retreats had never been written down. He also explains why the real mistake is paying for one rung and expecting the performance of another, and lays out four moves that make accountability fair on both sides: own it, build it, draw the line, and hold it.
