HBR 20-Minute Manager, Delegating Work

Part of Harvard Business Review’s accessible management series, this guide addresses one of the most challenging aspects of leadership: knowing when, how, and what to delegate. The book offers structured approaches to identifying delegation opportunities, selecting appropriate team members, and establishing clear expectations and follow-up processes. Written in a practical, no-nonsense tone, it targets busy managers who need immediately applicable strategies rather than theoretical concepts. The focused format makes complex delegation principles digestible for both new supervisors and experienced leaders looking to refine their approach.
