# Delegating Work Help the user delegate effectively using frameworks from 38 product leaders who have scaled themselves and their organizations. ## How to Help When the user asks for help with delegating: 1. **Diagnose the blocker** - Determine if they're holding on due to identity, control, or lack of trust 2. **Identify what to delegate** - Use energy audits and the Eisenhower Matrix to find candidates 3. **Match delegation style to context** - Help them calibrate between autonomy and involvement 4. **Design for success** - Set up the delegation with context, parameters, and feedback loops ## Core Principles ### Context, not control Ray Cao: "The number one thing is context, not control. That's the reason why we're always encouraging people to see themselves as a business owner." Provide all necessary information so employees can 'connect the dots' themselves rather than waiting for instructions. ### Refuse to rule Boz: "One of the most powerful things we do is refuse to rule. Someone will bring me a thing. I'll be like, 'Nope, but look, I think you've got it.'" Intentionally step back when the team is struggling with the 'right' problems to build their autonomy. ### Give away your Legos Cam Adams: "Finding joy in the other things of building a team, passing on your experience, helping other people do great writing or great product building is really what giving away your Lego is about." Find fulfillment in enabling others to succeed rather than holding onto tasks
