Delegation in the Age of Speed
Nov 03, 2025The challenge isn’t the storm of technological change anymore.
The storm is the climate.
Change is constant—fast, unpredictable, relentless. And that demands a fundamental shift in leadership:
Responsibility can’t stay at the top.
Boards and executive teams can no longer see and respond quickly enough to every challenge. The speed of business means decision-making and accountability must move down—to senior leaders, managers, and teams.
But that creates a new challenge: delegation.
Senior leaders must delegate more than ever before—and their teams must learn to do the same.
Delegation isn’t hard because of skill. Most leaders already know how to delegate. The real barriers are emotional:
-
Fear of losing control
-
Worry about mistakes
-
The belief that “it’s quicker if I do it myself”
Telling someone to delegate more rarely works. The key is helping them experience delegation differently.
That’s why I created a short worksheet to help leaders experiment with delegation in a practical, emotionally intelligent way. If that resonates, grab it here—free: 👉https://www.edgeeq.com/signup
