Transfer Ownership and Decision Rights
Ownership transfers only when the person holds the decisions and everyone treats them as the owner, so the work no longer routes back through you. Hand over the calls the work requires, not a list of instructions, and name the person as owner to the team and stakeholders. When someone routes a decision around the owner, send it back and name them as the decider. Let their approach differ from yours as long as the outcome and boundaries hold, and step in on results rather than style.

Measurable Behaviors
Behaviors are optimized to be directly observable for evidence-based skill tracking.
Coach your managers to transfer ownership to their own teams
Coaches reports who lead people to hand over decisions and name owners with their own teams, so ownership repeats a level down.
Hand over the decisions, not a list of steps
Gives the person the calls the work requires rather than instructions to carry out, so they own the thinking, not just the doing.
Let the owner's approach differ from yours
Holds back from imposing a method while the outcome and boundaries hold, stepping in on results rather than style.
Name the person as the owner to everyone involved
Tells the team, stakeholders, and their own manager who owns the work, so requests route to the owner instead of back to you.
Send work back to the owner when people route around them
Redirects misrouted decisions to the owner and names them as the decider rather than handling the call yourself.

What a Transfer That Holds Looks Like
Mastery means the owner makes real calls that used to be yours and runs them their own way, and the team brings questions to them rather than to you. Ownership transfer repeats a level down as your own managers hand decisions to their teams.
