Effective delegation goes beyond assigning tasks—it’s about setting your team up for success. In this 90-minute workshop, you’ll learn how to empower your team with greater decision-making authority while maintaining alignment and accountability.
Using Jurgen Appelo’s 7 Levels of Delegation and the Humanizing Work 3 Jobs of Management framework, you’ll explore the common challenges of delegation and practical strategies to overcome them. Whether it’s concerns about delivery quality, team readiness, or system limitations, you’ll gain the tools to address these obstacles and unlock your team’s potential.
Through hands-on exercises and real-world examples, you’ll discover how to:
- Diagnose what’s holding your team back from taking on greater responsibility.
- Define clear expectations and boundaries to align delegation with organizational goals.
- Build team capability and systems to ensure autonomy leads to successful outcomes.
- Progressively increase delegation levels over time in a safe, sustainable way.
By the end of this session, you’ll have a practical roadmap for empowering your team to excel at higher levels of autonomy, fostering trust, accountability, and alignment for long-term success.

He has trained, coached, and advised dozens of organizations to create outcomes that range from leadership development, to creating vision and strategy, to creating a culture of innovation, to clarifying and validating customer segments and needs, to reinventing business models and products, to creating high performing, Agile teams.
Peter is a Certified Scrum Trainer, a graduate of the ORSC coaching system, a certified Leadership Agility and Leadership Circle coach, a certified Innovation Games practitioner, and the co-founder of the Humanizing Work company.
