140: What Does Done Look Like? Assigning Tasks with Clarity
May 14, 2024Hey there, welcome back to another episode! Today, we're tackling a crucial topic that's often overlooked: delegating tasks clearly. You see, delegation isn't just about passing off tasks to your team or contractors—it's a skill that applies to every aspect of your life. Inspired by Brene Brown's insights in "Dare to Lead," we're asking the fundamental question: What does done look like?
Think about it. How many times have you handed off a task in a frazzled state, only to be disappointed with the results? The truth is, clarity is key. Whether you're managing a team or simply trying to streamline your personal life, everyone involved needs to know exactly what success looks like. So, in today's episode, we're getting into strategies for articulating expectations clearly, from documenting processes to setting up clear communication channels and even placing success examples in your business’s SOP.
Can we give clarity even within ourselves around what a job well done looks like. When you can deliver that, it is such a gift to the recipient.
Discussed in this episode:
- What done might look like to you

Review of the week:
SIMPLE, EASY & REAL!
As a new small business owner there is way too much information out there that either helps or hinders progress. Bonnie is a major help! Her podcast is calming, as if you’re talking over a coffee. She gives practical, real-life advice that does not make you feel inept. I’ve learned so much listening to her podcasts that I’m actually motivated to grow my business thanks to her ideas. Thank you so much for “getting us”.
