Managing Made Simple

A 10-min exercise to figure out what to delegate


Listen Later

Use a simple 10-minute monthly exercise to discover exactly what to delegate. Lia Garvin shows how to audit your calendar and task list to identify repetitive, low-impact, or handoff-ready work — without handing off your whole job or dumping busywork on your team. Learn a step-by-step method to spot delegation candidates, prioritize what to offload, and create clear handoffs managers trust. Ideal for founders, people managers, and business owners wanting faster delegation outcomes.

In this episode you'll learn:

  • Why delegating is not all or nothing, and the myth that keeps you stuck
  • The calendar pass that surfaces meetings you can hand off, and the ones you shouldn't
  • How to choose 3 to 5 monthly tasks a team member can take on
  • How to hand off a piece of a task instead of the whole thin
  • Why doing it yourself costs you more time than it saves
