Before we speak, your situation is mapped against how work actually moves through a team: how it arrives, how it gets sequenced, how it gets protected, how it gets handed on, how it gets closed off, and whether what comes out at the end can be trusted. Six stages, and most managers are fine at four of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat comes out is where the loop is breaking, and which break is causing the others. A delegation problem is usually a clarity problem wearing a hat. A boundary that reads well on paper can be exactly the wrong thing to send to that director in that week. Six things might need fixing, and five will fail if you attempt them before the sixth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWorking out which is which is judgment, and that's what the hour is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch1 dir=\"ltr\" class=\"mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eWho's delivering it\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eJason Smith, founder of JAInet HQ and Principal Consultant at Accile Consulting.
