# Delegating tasks & responsibilities

### **You need a team.**

* Learn to collaborate and delegate. You cannot succeed on your own.
* Your most important choice is who is on your team.
* Choose people who are more excited than you.
* Actively care for and support the people you work with.
* Reward people who are working with you with compliments and assistance.
* Inclusivity is important, but it does take time and effort so make it a priority.

### **Define discrete tasks for each activity with realistic deadlines.**

* What will happen?
* Who will do what?
* When will we complete the task?
* What resources do we need?
* What barriers might we meet?
* How + with whom do we communicate our progress?

### **Delegate tasks based on interests and time.**

* Schedule a meeting near major deadlines.
* Discuss challenges meeting the deadline.
* Offer support.
* Re-evaluate tasks.
