Tool: Delegate and Elevate

Delegate and Elevate Briefing Document

This document summarizes the key concepts and instructions for using the "Delegate and Elevate" tool within the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS). The tool is designed to help leaders identify tasks they should delegate to free up time for activities that are more aligned with their strengths and passions.

Main Themes:

• Time Optimization: The primary goal of Delegate and Elevate is to help individuals optimize their time by focusing on tasks where they excel and enjoy, and delegating tasks that drain their energy or don't leverage their strengths.
• Self-Awareness: The tool encourages self-reflection and honest assessment of one's skills, preferences, and time allocation.
• Strategic Delegation: It provides a structured approach to delegation, ensuring that individuals strategically offload tasks to maximize efficiency and personal fulfillment.
• Elevation to Strengths: The ultimate aim is to enable individuals to "elevate" themselves to focus on activities that align with their unique abilities and passions, leading to increased energy and productivity.

Key Ideas and Facts:

• Purpose: The tool's objective is to help leaders recognize the need to delegate tasks and determine what, how much, and to whom they should delegate.
• Quadrants: The Delegate and Elevate tool utilizes a four-quadrant matrix to categorize tasks based on an individual's enjoyment and skill level:
• Bottom-Right: "everything you don’t like to do and that you are not good at. This is the easy one ― get rid of this stuff as fast as you can."
• Bottom-Left: "everything you don’t like to do but are good at. 95% of the world lives in this quadrant." The video elaborates on this stating it is "personal hell".
• Top-Right: "everything you like to do and are good at."
• Top-Left: "everything you love to do and are great at. ‒ this is where we want you to spend most of your time. ‒ this is what gives you energy and you are genetically encoded to do."

1. Process:List Everything: Create a comprehensive list of all tasks performed in a typical week, "even the embarrassing stuff, a complete list."
2. Categorize: Place each task into one of the four quadrants based on your enjoyment and skill level.
3. Delegate: "Delegate everything you’re doing now from the bottom 2 quadrants ― as soon as you can." The video states that users should expect to be able to delegate approximately 25% of their tasks.
4. Elevate: "elevate to spend more time on stuff in the top 2 quadrants." Focus your time and energy on activities in the top two quadrants.

• Commitment: The tool requires commitment to delegate tasks from the bottom two quadrants.
• Intended Outcome: By utilizing the Delegate and Elevate tool, individuals can "very quickly delegate and elevate to your unique ability, your god-given talent, your genetic encoding."
