I’ve always believed there is a big difference between delegating work and creating ownership. Giving someone a task makes them responsible for execution. Giving them ownership makes them responsible for the outcome and teaches them to think, decide, and lead.
Good leadership is also about making knowledge transferable, decisions clearer, and the team capable of moving without constant intervention.
Thank you Shamim! YES, exactly this. Delegation gets the task off your plate, but ownership is what actually builds a stronger team. Love the point about making knowledge transferable too 🙌
Loved reading this Heather!
