About

Many small business owners know they should delegate more, yet keep pulling work back onto their own plate. This assessment helps business coaches, leadership trainers, and consultants understand how an owner actually delegates today, which habits hold them back, and what success would look like for them.

After name and email, owners share their team size and leadership experience and rate how they feel about handing off important tasks. The core questions cover how they brief people, how often they check in, their reaction to mistakes, how often they redo delegated work, who makes final decisions, and how they feel when someone takes a different approach. Later questions look at their main reason for delegating, trust in the team, the biggest barrier, a picture of successful delegation, feedback habits, and how much of their work could realistically move to someone else.

The questions are reflective but quick, mostly single choices with two short ratings, so owners can answer honestly without overthinking. An optional open question captures a current delegation challenge in their own words, and a final question asks whether they want ongoing leadership tips. Coaches can use the answers to open a first session with specific, practical suggestions.

Frequently asked questions

Who should use this assessment?

Business coaches, leadership trainers, consultants, and small business communities that support owners as their teams grow. It also works as a self-reflection exercise inside a leadership course.

Does the assessment label each owner with a delegation style?

As written, it collects answers so you can review them and share personal insights. If you want owners to see a style on screen, add calculated values that score each answer and create a separate ending for each style.

Why ask about team size and leadership experience?

Delegation looks very different for a solo founder hiring a first assistant than for an owner leading 50 people. These two answers give context for every other response.

Can I use it with managers who are not business owners?

Yes. Adjust the business stage question so it asks about team size, and the rest of the questions apply to any manager who hands off work.

How should I follow up on the results?

Look at the biggest barrier and check-in frequency answers first, since they show where the owner gets stuck. Send a short summary with one or two practical changes, or invite them to a coaching call.

Is the leadership tips question required?

No. The final question about leadership tips and resources is optional, so owners decide whether they want ongoing emails from you.
