Delegation isn’t just about handing off a task. It’s about trusting someone to run with it, even if they do it differently than you would.

In this episode of the Maternity Leave Roadmap series, we’re shifting from theory to practice. I’m walking you through how to set up the actual conversations and systems that make delegation stick, including how to pass off responsibility in a way that creates ownership, not micromanagement. Whether you’re working with one assistant or a full team, this is where your plan becomes real.

This Episode’s Homework:
Schedule a meeting with your team (or individual contractor) to delegate a key responsibility. Outline the non-negotiables, assign a metric for success, and set a handoff date that gives them time to pilot it before your leave.
