Delegate research collection, CRM updates, meeting preparation, follow-up coordination, reporting, and exception logging. Retain commitments, sensitive outreach, and strategic positioning.
Give rules
State inputs, acceptable evidence, stop conditions, escalation owner, and finished output. Examples beat broad encouragement.
Review the system
Inspect samples, unresolved exceptions, and recurring questions weekly. Clarify the handoff when ambiguity returns.
Delegate a bounded outcome
“Improve our pipeline” is unclear. “Review unassigned inbound records, attach source, flag missing consent, and return exceptions” is bounded. Include inputs, allowed changes, prohibited assumptions, and escalation path. Retain commitments and strategic choices with a human owner.
Inspect the system
Review accuracy samples, exceptions, rework, and time to acceptance. If ambiguity appears twice, change the instruction or form. Material record changes need explicit approval. Start a delegating growth assistant work review with one recurring task and define its expected output, approval point, and stop condition. Give the assistant evidence boundaries and a named human decision maker instead of a vague request for growth.
Inspect the first deliverable for unsupported claims, missing context, and unresolved choices. Keep the delegation when the output is reviewable; narrow or pause it when the owner cannot explain what authority was granted.
