Ask about one action at a time
Break “delegates well and supports the team” into two items. How often does the manager explain the expected outcome when assigning work? How often do they ask what support the person needs?
Three sample questions for a manager
How often does the manager explain why a priority changed? How often do they tell the team who will make a decision? How often do they follow up by the agreed date? Specify an observation period and include an “unable to assess” option.
Invite one example
Ask: “Think of a time the manager’s actions affected how the team worked. What did they do and what changed?” The answer gives context when colleagues rate the same behaviour differently.
