The DRAMA of Delegating

When we delegate, we ask or request that another person take over a task, job, or responsibility. Asking or requesting is not a problem - what does become problematic is assuming what the other person will think or feel about us when we make the request or ask for help. 

 

Brooke Castillo, Master Life Coach and founder of The Life Coach School teaches a concept called “Math vs. Drama”:

 

The MATH = the FACTS:

 

The job, task, or responsibility you are requesting that another person will do.

 

The DRAMA = THOUGHTS about the facts.

 

The DRAMA is what we assume the other person will THINK or FEEL about our request or about us. 

 

A type of delegation is creating and communicating a BOUNDARY. 

 

A BOUNDARY = a request + response. 

 

A REQUEST is what you’d like the other person to do or not do. 

A RESPONSE is what you will do regardless of the other person being willing or able to meet your request.
