Delegate and Elevate™
A tool that helps leaders identify tasks they should hand off to others (delegate) so they can focus on work that uses their highest strengths and creates the most value (elevate). It’s a 2x2 matrix: Love/Great at vs. Don’t Love/Not Great at.
In Plain English
A self-audit that shows you what to stop doing so you can do more of what only you can do.
What it looks like in practice
A founder lists everything they do in a week and sorts it into four quadrants. Payroll approvals and scheduling fall in the bottom two, so they move to the office manager within the quarter.
The common mistake
Doing the exercise once and keeping the work anyway. The tool only pays off when the bottom-quadrant tasks leave your calendar for good.
