The inability of leaders to delegate is one of the most significant blockers in workforce productivity & in making change happen. So I appreciated this new article by @RoFernn that offers a refreshing perspective & practical actions.
Teams often don’t see the pressure that their leaders carry. Leaders fear that if something goes wrong, it will ultimately fall back on them. That’s why delegation feels risky: when we delegate, we can no longer control every action or thought. We can only have influence. The shift from control to influence triggers more fear.
Most leaders don’t struggle with delegation because they don’t know they should delegate. They struggle with the daily symptoms of not delegating. The core problem is often a lack of clarity, trust & good processes. But because leaders are constantly firefighting, they rarely get the chance to step back & see it.
Effective delegation focuses leaders on controlling what they can control: providing examples of what good looks like; leading by example - creating shadowing & learning opportunities; continuously improving clarity; designing systems with built-in visibility so fewer status meetings are needed & setting clear principles & fair rules.
What actions can we take to enable both oversight (direction/control) & autonomy (delegation)?
1) Define the outcome & success criteria: don’t tell people how to do something - make the “what” crystal clear
2) Create visibility without micromanagement: build check-ins, dashboards & visual cues
3) Systematise autonomy: Build templates, process checks & decision prompts so teams can act effectively without leader presence
4) Multiply effort with repeatable systems: delegation through systems (templates, shared steps, clear rules) supports sustainable delegation
5) Use the “Five levels of delegation” to build autonomy: The author suggest using the @MichaelHyatt model to work out where current levels of delegation are & how people can move up stages as capability & systems improve

I spent the weekend in Delhi, India.
1 million street dogs are under severe threat.
I’ve never seen a story like this. I didn’t think it was possible in the modern world.
The world needs to see this… (1/10) 🧵
.@rickygervais Hi Ricky pls share. I think it is vitally important that tourists should know precisely what they are supporting when they holiday in #Morroco 3-5Miillion dogs are being brutally slaughtered in preparation for @FIFAWorldCup @iawpcoalition
For many years, I have collaborated with (& learnt greatly from) leaders from Jönköping Region in Sweden & with Jönköping Academy. Jönköping has so much to teach the world about building integrated leadership development for a high-performing system.
A key aspect of the Jönköping approach has been continuity of leadership approach & leadership purpose over decades. We can follow their journey which has seen:
1) A shift from siloed to system-wide leadership development: moving away from unit or area-specific interventions toward approaches that foster learning & leadership growth across the whole system.
2) Reframing the purpose of leadership development: from traditional personal leader development to anchoring development in real improvements for the people that the system serves.
3) Integrating leadership development into daily work: from a reliance on separate or targeted leadership programs to integrating leadership principles (using “simple rules”) into the daily work of leaders.
The Jönköping experience demonstrates that effective system leadership emerges when development is integrated, adaptive & continuously aligned with both user/citizen needs & organisational needs. A big lesson from Jönköping is that we need to normalise leadership development as an everyday, lived, system-wide practice, not a sporadic activity:

Five dogs born in the same litter, who all have identical life experiences. How do they differ when they arrive at our kennel-free rescue? Their exposure to the world, or lack of it, had been exactly the same 🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕
People often think you know exactly what you are getting with a puppy - this video shows how their confidence levels and adapability to change can vary considerably. Coconut, Bailey, Daron, Pickles and Mochi were exposed to the same things at the same time. Even their travel to the UK was the same experience.
When we take dogs in we understand they have different personalities, will progress at different speeds, and that some need much longer than others. We don't put a time limit on it, it is unthinkable to us to end a life because they have been with us more than a set number of weeks. Our dogs are always a work in progress. And as Mochi shows most of the time they get there in the end...

Little Noodles is our newest arrival.
Her swelling is calming down. She is getting ready for an operation this week. Possibly several procedures actually. A big week for her 🥰
Abel arrived at his home in Liverpool early this morning. Now they want him gone by Monday 😡
He is a friendly, slightly timid boy. He is so lovely though and we need to find a home ASAP!
He can live with dogs, a dog savvy cat and kids 7+

In Portland, Oregon, there’s a small coffee shop called Cozy Bean. During the day, it’s what you’d expect—people stopping in for a hot drink, soft background music, the usual warmth of a neighborhood café.
But something unexpected happens after closing time.
Once the customers leave and the lights are turned off, the owner turns them back on—but not for more business. He opens the doors again, this time for a different kind of guest: street dogs.
Since 2018, Cozy Bean has quietly offered shelter to stray dogs in the area. There's no advertising, no big signs, no posts asking for attention. It’s just something the owner does—every single night.
Inside, he sets out old blankets, cushions, and bowls of clean water. The dogs come in from the cold, some limping, some soaked from the rain, and they find a place to rest. They aren’t locked in or forced to stay. They just know they’re welcome—and they settle in like they belong there.
Some of the dogs are regulars. Others come and go. But every night, they have somewhere safe to sleep. A break from the noise and danger of the street.
The owner doesn’t do interviews. He doesn’t expect anything in return. He just makes space for those that have none.
It’s a simple act—opening a door, turning on a light, offering a little comfort. But it shows a level of compassion that’s hard to find in today’s world.
This isn’t about saving the world. It’s about doing what you can, right where you are. And that, in its quiet way, is something extraordinary.
Please vote for us - no donation necessary. We just need your free votes. If we can get 3,000 votes today we will move into 5th place and win £1,000 🙏🙏🙏🙏
