Free Checklist
Before you hand it over
Check whether someone has the clarity and authority to own a responsibility.
By Amy Aceto-Hitchinson
What you’ll work through
Choose one responsibility you want someone else to carry. Work through these questions with that person before agreeing the handover.
- Clarify the work
- Clarify authority
- Clarify support
- Write the first agreement
A look inside
Clarify the work 1. Can we both describe the result and why it matters? 2. Is there an agreed deadline or operating rhythm? 3. Does the person have the necessary skill, information and capacity? 4. Have we discussed which part they want or need to learn?
