Did you find functional assignments to actually delegate or abandon Oh there weren’t a whole lot of cases of Delegating and Elevating in these meetings. Is a different name for the meeting, more fitting now. What was the biggest change vs this previous D&E’s What’s the difference between team lead and manager?
