Find Who, Not How
- The book Who Not How reframes work: find who can do it, not how to do it yourself.
- Aaron emphasizes others often know or enjoy tasks you avoid, creating leverage.
Theater Strike Taught Outcome Delegation
- Aaron recounts running a slow, exhausting theatre 'strike' because he assigned individual tasks.
- Switching to delegating objectives and team leads sped teardown and improved results dramatically.

- Before delegating, clarify the desired outcome, deadline, who's served, and required resources and authority.
- Preparing these answers prevents ambiguity and increases the delegatee's chance of success.
