Editorial sample: this is illustrative editorial content produced by the 247FORTIFY360 desk, not reported news about named individuals.

Delegate outcomes, not tasks

Handing over a task creates a helper. Handing over an outcome creates an owner. State the result, the constraints and the deadline, then step back.

Feedback in days, not quarters

Practical tip: Give one specific piece of praise and one specific correction every week. Annual reviews should contain no surprises.
