Is your delegation too vague?

"If I delegate, I lose control."

I hear this so often from leaders.
And I understand the fear.

But here's the truth:
Control doesn't come from holding everything.

It comes from knowing what truly needs you.

When delegation is vague, you end up micromanaging.
When it's clear, you gain capacity.

That means focusing on:
Defined outcomes.
Named decision makers.
Structured follow-through.

The strongest leaders aren't hands-on everywhere.
They're intentional about where their attention belongs.

Delegation isn't about disappearing.
It's about being clear.
