12. Hitting the Pause Button
Don’t automatically say yes just to please
Think about whether no is the RIGHT answer

13. Practice the Process Find sayings in your voice:
“Can I give you a buzz tomorrow”
“Can I check my deadline schedule”
“I need more information to make that commitment”

14. What is the value equation
Who is the right person to do the task?
Can you dual purpose the effort?
Is it within you authority to delegate?

15. I delegate tasks when Someone has the expertise I don’t
It is not efficient for me to complete the task
I could offer a developmental opportunity
I would not be using the institutions resources wisely if I didn’t

16. If I delegate, I Clarify roles and responsibilities
Articulate expectations
Establish communication norms
Write instructions and expectations
Define what represents success
Establish milestones
Measure the outcome

17. Practice changing your Yes:
Interruptions
Preventing interruptions before they begin
Setting up a signal
Minimizing interruptions you can’t avoid
Giving people options

18. Open Discussion
