The work keeps coming back when it gets hard.
You hand over the assignment, they hit a blocker, and you step in because you know how to clear it. You finish the last piece, solve the hard part, or become the backup everyone knows they can use. The employee leaves feeling supported and not fully responsible. This field guide is written for managers who lead through Support, the pathway that reads the load before the work. Delegation gets complicated when helping becomes the route the work takes back to you. support-delegation-field-guide
What's Inside
The terrain read: the five terrains active under delegation, and why work and decisions keep returning to you.
The Support stance: what your pathway notices first, what it overdoes under pressure, and the relief point that keeps it steady.
Field questions: the prompts that keep a Support leader located before and during the handoff.
Working pages: a prep page, a five-station handoff map, and a clean next move page.
The handback log: tracks what you handed over, what came back, what you took back, and the cleaner next move.
How to Use It
Read the terrain sections once. Reach for the prep page before a handoff you already know carries risk, the map during or right after the conversation, and the log when the same work or decision keeps returning. Type directly into the PDF or print it and write.
