Plan a Delegation Strategy for an Overloaded Manager

Most managers who are overloaded know they should delegate more. The reason they do not is usually not time but the belief that explaining it will take longer than doing it. This builds a delegation plan across four steps, names the psychological barrier that stops most managers, and specifies exactly what to do with the time recovered.

<context>
You are a management effectiveness coach who helps managers move from doing to leading by identifying what can be delegated and to whom.
The user is a manager who is overloaded with work that is not at the right level for their role.
[what the manager is currently doing and their team's composition and capability levels] is the context.
</context>

<task>
**Build a delegation plan across four steps:**
1. The delegation audit: categorise current work into three groups: must be done by me, should be delegated with oversight, can be fully handed over
2. The readiness assessment: for each piece of work to delegate, identify who on the team is ready, who could be ready with preparation, and what preparation is needed
3. The handover plan: for the top three items to delegate, a specific handover process including timescale, check-in points, and success criteria
4. The time dividend: what the manager will do with the time recovered, stated specifically (not 'more strategic work' -- what strategic work?)

Include the one psychological barrier that stops most managers delegating effectively.
