Delegation Redesign.

Actually hand off the worst bottlenecks, with the support that makes the handoff stick, because a map changes nothing until you let go.

For each bottleneck you are moving off your desk

The decision

Who now owns it

What they need to decide it well (information, authority, context)

The guardrails: where they decide freely, and where they check with you

How you will resist taking it back

The hardest line, and the honest one

Why have you been holding this? Because it is truly yours, because you like it, or because letting go is hard?

If it is one of the last two, that is the thing to name and let go of. The test of a real handoff: the next time this decision comes up, it goes to the new owner and does not route back to you. If it routes back, the handoff did not take, and you return to this and to the accountability layer.
