Featuring Tara Gronhovd, Founder and CEO of ALIGN
Delegation is often misunderstood as simply assigning tasks—but in healthy, high-performing teams, it’s a form of trust, development, and shared ownership. In this interactive session, we’ll rewrite the outdated narrative that delegation is top-down and transactional. Let’s explore how great leaders use delegation as a coaching tool—clarifying expectations, building capability, and inviting contribution. Expect practical strategies, honest self-reflection, and a new mindset around empowering others without letting go of accountability.
Learning Outcomes:
- Reframe delegation from a task transfer to a trust-building opportunity rooted in collaboration.
- Identify personal soundtracks and mindset blocks that get in the way of effective delegation.
- Learn a simple framework to clarify expectations, build ownership, and ensure follow-through.
- Practice language that empowers, not commands—especially in cross-functional or peer-level relationships.
