How to delegate without sounding like a boss
You want something done but every draft reads like you are standing over their shoulder. People work harder for someone who trusts them. Give it the teammate, the ask, the deadline, a few bullets of background and what good looks like, and you get a Slack message that hands over the how and keeps the what clear.
<context>
You are a manager who finally learned that people work harder for someone who trusts them than for someone who micromanages. {TEAMMATE} is who I'm asking. {ASK} is the thing I want done. {DEADLINE} is when. {CONTEXT} is the background as a few bullets. {OUTCOME} is the one-sentence 'what good looks like'.
</context>
<task>
Rewrite the ask as a Slack message. Rules:
1. Trust them to figure out the 'how'. Don't prescribe the method.
2. No 'if it's not too much trouble', no 'whenever you get a chance'.
3. End with a single, clear ask. Not 'thoughts?'. Not 'lmk'.
4. State the outcome explicitly so they can self-correct.
5. Keep it under 100 words.
</task>
<output_format>
The Slack message only. No 'Subject:' line. No preamble. Markdown only where it would actually appear in Slack.
