Update: 2025-09-23
Description
In this episode of Manager Lab, host Greg Gillum breaks down decision-making and delegation using Cheryl Strauss Einhorn’s HBR framework: "Should You Delegate That Decision? Ask These Four Questions."
Learn the four questions to determine when to delegate—who’s closest to the action, whether a decision can be routinized, whose perspective will improve the outcome, and where momentum is stalled—plus a real-world example involving minor design approvals.
Greg shares practical tools (decision audits, decision matrices, clear decision rights), common pitfalls to avoid, and a simple weekly challenge to help you start delegating effectively and grow leadership across your team.
