Episode 2 – Performance: The Importance of Creating Delegates

October 8, 2020

LI002 Episodic“We want to start creating delegates in our people. That means that we’re creating someone who can see what we see.” -Kari Granger

Welcome to Leadership Impact, the podcast for modern executives who are reinventing leadership within their organizations. Hosted by executive leadership coach and CEO of The Granger Network, Kari Granger, and Sound Financial Group CEO, Paul Adams, this podcast aims to address the topics of performance and leadership through real life examples.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of creating delegates. Oftentimes, when a manager or CEO delegates a job or activity to an employee, he or she delegates the action, but fails to align with the employee on how to perceive the task (i.e., common goal, opportunities, and obstacles). By spending a little extra time deciding how to observe the situation and task at hand, you can successfully create delegates that will be more empowered and effective. Paul and Kari each give firsthand examples of moments where delegating action simply wasn’t enough and explain how those situations could have been handled differently.
