Digital goods call our bluff. If you read my e-book, we both win. If you share it, so do your friends. Attention is precious, and if you’re willing to trade your attention for my idea, we both thrive.
A great framework for delegating work or encouraging a team member to identify and own new work:
Challenge people to operate at the next level and promise support for them taking on that challenge.
Example: someone says that they are identifying a problem that is a bit of a stretch for them to carve out or solve.
You can identify it as a challenge for them and offer it to them _as a challenge_ that they can accept.
And you should communicate that you will _support_ them taking on that challenge (and how you'll support them).
