Carolmae has tried to be very intentional with the way she approaches delegation with her team. To do this, she ensures the person she delegates to is someone that needs, or has shown interest, in developing the relevant skills. She ensures too that they always have what they need to successfully complete the asks she makes including the time, information, and any relevant training they made need. She ensures that they have scheduled times when they will come together to see how things are progressing and answer any questions her team has about the task she has delegated to them. Overall, these strategies have enabled a really effective delegation process for her and her team.

, approached you in the break room complaining about how

unmotivated his team has been in the past few months. He tells you that

despite him constantly telling his team how important their work is for the

success of the company that they still don’t put forth the effort. He has tried

to make competitions where the winner receives a $100 bonus at the end of the

week, but that hasn’t seemed to spark any motivation either. He shares that he

keeps telling them what they need to be doing to ensure that they clearly

understand what is being asked of them, but they are still not improving. He
