How Founders Can Delegate Admin Work Without Losing Control

Delegate in this order

1. Calendar (with clear rules)
2. Inbox triage (with draft-only permission)
3. Scheduling (with confirmation rights)
4. Weekly reporting (drafted by them, reviewed by you)
5. Vendor + contractor comms
6. Bookkeeping data entry
7. Sales follow-up

The one rule

Document decisions as they happen. Every 'I would have done it this way' becomes a line in the SOP.
