Reflective delegation tool
Delegation and Over-Responsibility Check
For managers who have handed work to others and still notice that the decision, the follow-up, or the worry stays with them. Twelve original questions help you see what was actually delegated, what you are still holding, and what would need to be explicit before the next move can stay with someone else.
Use this if delegation keeps returning as “I should let go,” while the real question is which control is still necessary and which has become habit.
This is a reflective check, not a validated psychometric test, a personality measure, a hiring screen, or a pass/fail verdict on whether you can delegate. One difficult area does not mean you are failing as a manager.

Evidence, methodology and limits
The questions are original prompts. They draw on recurring, anonymized patterns in executive coaching around delegation and control, on Mehdi Nejadrasouli’s coaching practice and HR leadership experience, and on two studies already cited in the related essay: research on how managers balance autonomy and monitoring, and research on delegation and felt trust. One coaching situation does not establish that every delegation problem works the same way. The questions are not copied from proprietary assessments. Your answers are used only to surface relative themes. The page does not produce or display an overall score, and the interpretation bands are internal reflective labels, not a validated index.
