Delegation is the Jedi-level skill of knowing what to let go of, when, and to whom. It’s how real professionals make space for strategy while keeping up with the smaller tasks. If you’re overwhelmed by tasks or micromanaging, this quiz reveals your delegation style and leadership approach.
This self-assessment quietly evaluates your delegation game—how well you assign tasks, set expectations, build trust, and follow through. It checks for blind spots like fear of letting go, unclear communication, or over-trusting too soon.
It shows you the gap between delegating to get things done—and delegating to help people grow. And once you see where you stand, you’ll know exactly what to do.
