When growing leaders, managers often struggle with how much decision-making authority to grant a team member.  Many times, there is confusion between supervisor and supervisee around when to make a decision and when to seek approval, and supervisors often find themselves frustrated that they are having to give approval for unimportant details but that they were not consulted on issues that matter.  This step-by-step tool will help you assess the decision-making areas for each role you supervise, and to work collaboratively with that team member to define their authority and to identify ways to help them take more and more decisions and details off your plate. This allows you to intentionally grow their capacity, distributing more leadership and decision-making authority throughout the organization.
