Tomasz Tunguz - The Class Missing from Business School

I remember my graduate classes well : marketing, operations research, statistics, macroeconomics, strategy, & negotiation. But having worked for about twenty years, there’s a class missing from business school for a skill used as frequently as public speaking & negotiation : Delegation. After starting in the working world, at some point we start managing others. Perhaps just for a project. Perhaps a small team. Or an entire business unit. Or working with an executive assistant. There are different components to delegation:
Most of that list is straightforward & covered in books like The Great CEO Within & Deep & Deliberate Delegation. But there was something missing. For me, it was Loom. Learning about delegation, I watched Sam Corcos’ interview where argues Loom is the most important tool for delegation. So I tried it. Then I tried dictating & it’s addictive because it works. My workflow with email is to narrate the thoughts I have about each one while recording the audio. I talk through the context, the action items, & share it with my chief of staff. Please move this meeting to next Thursday. Prioritize this call. Create a reminder to send flowers for this event. With Loom, I’ll record my screen stepping through a workflow to add a company into our CRM. First, create the entry in the CRM. Next, verify data is syncing from our data provider. Then capture the contact information & validate it. I don’t know if this is the best way to delegate work. I wish I had spent time in grad school practicing as much as public speaking & negotiation. I’m curious if you have delegation best-practices. If so, write back! |
