Delegation has a clear progression most people never climb. Level 1: delegate by task ('order these flowers'). Level 2: delegate by process ('when I give gifts to my wife, here's what she likes'). Level 3: delegate by goal ('architect my calendar to protect sleep and time with this person'). Level 4 — clairvoyant delegation: the assistant anticipates your needs and the first time you hear about a task is when it's already done. You cannot start at Level 4; you must compound through years of detailed feedback. Each level requires exporting more of your personal algorithm — what you actually want and how you typically get there.
