The Delegation Script That Actually Works

Published by Vijay Sha | Executive Mindset Coach


👎Stop saying: "Can you handle this?"

👍Start saying: "I'm delegating [specific task] to you because [reason why them]. The outcome I need is [specific result] by [date]. What questions do you have?"


Why this works:

✅ Shows confidence in their abilities

✅ Provides clear expectations

✅ Gives them ownership

✅ Opens dialogue


The difference between micromanaging and empowering? Clarity upfront.


"Most executives delegate the task but not the authority.

Don't be that leader."

Turning Point in My Leadership Journey

By Vijay Sha • July 8, 2025
A Turning Point In My Leadership Journey Published by Vijay Sha | Executive Mindset Coach I want to share a vulnerable moment that taught me something important about leadership.✨ ⏳Early in my career, I was in a boardroom presentation, feeling confident about my prepared talking points. Then a senior executive 🤵 asked a challenging question I hadn't anticipated. I felt completely exposed. The awkward pause. The uncertain response. I could see the disappointment around the table. Walking out of that room, I realised something that changed my entire approach to leadership: "I had been trying to act 🎭 like the leader I thought I should be, instead of developing into the leader I could actually become." Here are some insights I've gathered over the years (still learning every day): 🔹 Authenticity resonates more than perfection 🔹 It's okay to say "I don't know, but I'll find out" 🔹 Confidence isn't about having all the answers, it's about being comfortable with uncertainty 🔹 The gap between "trying to lead" and "naturally leading" is a mindset shift I'm grateful for that uncomfortable moment 🪂 It started a journey of authentic leadership development that continues today. The leaders I'm honored to coach often share similar insights with me, that their breakthrough came when they shifted from copying other leaders to developing their own genuine executive presence. 📩I'd love to hear from you: What's been a turning point in your leadership journey? Your experiences always teach me something new. #ExecutiveMindset #LeadershipDevelopment #AuthenticLeadership #LeadershipStruggles #ManagerTips #LeadershipConfidence #LeadershipBreakthrough #ExecutivePresence
