2. Give the responsibility to meet a goal and the full authority needed to bring about the desired result simultaneously, at the beginning. Encourage the person to let you know if they need more authority or support of any kind to get the task completed.
3. What works well for others may not be what work well for you. Give your delegates the freedom to find their own way. Assign tasks in terms of goals, not methods, and encourage your assistants to call upon their own strengths and creativity to meet your objective.
4. Respect that people thrive under varying levels of supervision unique to them. You can cooperatively work out a system of checking in with one another.
