“Don’t delegate tasks, delegate ownership” — Casey Watts

Story:

At a party recently, some guests arrived early and offered to help set up.

They expected me to tell them exactly what to do (delegating tasks)

Instead, I told them my goal and trusted them to do it: “set up the food so it’ll be very easy for folks to get at the food, whatever that looks like” (delegating ownership).

They did a MUCH better job that I would have come up with! 👏🏻👏🏻

@heycaseywattsup @omer what I've been up to with my team. For reasons, I'm the only employee - everyone else is external. That means I have other meetings and things I'm involved in, so I need them to take responsibility.

I've told them to forge ahead, have meetings without me - I've seen big improvements when they feel they own the platform.
