Could you be better at delegation? AI might be your unexpected secret weapon.
For many new and mid-level managers, letting go of tasks and trusting a team can feel challenging. So often, managers can truthfully say, “It’s easier if I just do it myself.”
When we choose to take on tasks that could be delegated, is it because we’re exceptionally skilled at doing them ourselves, or because we struggle to clearly communicate our expectations to others?
Effective delegation is fundamental for fostering growth and maximizing productivity. It empowers team members to develop their skills and contribute more value to the organization, while allowing leaders to focus their expertise on high-priority tasks that truly demand their attention.
But delegation is a skill—and it takes practice. AI can help.
When working with an AI tool, you have to give clear and specific instructions to get the results you need. Today’s LLM is like the most enthusiastic junior employee you’ve ever had — incredible energy, great attitude, but low on intuition and a little hesitant to ask questions.
Practicing delegation with AI teaches you how to break tasks down, outline outcomes, and be crystal clear in your expectations. And here’s the best part—your team, as humans, will naturally pick up on your intent and context way better than the AI engine. Practicing with an AI is like swinging a weighted golf club before a round — it makes the real thing feel so much easier.
By honing your clarity and direction with AI, you’ll become a better communicator, a more confident delegator, and ultimately a stronger leader.
