The one-pager framework is a simple yet effective way to delegate tasks efficiently, ensuring that your team members are equipped to deliver high-quality results. By understanding the skill level of your team members, you can tailor the level of detail provided, from problem statement to solution implementation. This approach not only saves time but also fosters personal growth for the individuals you delegate to.
