Sometimes delegation takes its suspenders firmly with both hands and tugs sharply to hoist itself to a whole new level known as hyper-delegation.

It can be painful to think about this hyper-delegation process let alone experience hyper-delegation first-hand as a recipient or even watch it as a bystander.

Delegation, in standard form, means assigning work from one person to another person in situations where the work is understood by both the donor of the assignment and the recipient of the assignment.

Hyper-delegation doesn’t worry itself with those sorts of complications and constraints.

Hyper-delegation delegates anything and everything, any time and everywhere.

Lifting yourself up by your hyper-delegation suspenders…like the double-edged sword [except, obviously, much duller]…cuts both ways.

Painful to watch.

Painful to experience.

Yes, painful hyper-delegation.
