Such widespread involvement can generate greater buy-in and better outcomes, but it can also generate confusion about who is responsible for what. The“MOCHA” model 1 can help managers more clearly articulate who should play what role throughout the course of work and thereby generate better results.  \nMANAGER | Assigns responsibility and holds owner accountable. Makes suggestions, asks hard questions, reviews progress, serves as a resource, and intervenes if the work is off-track.  \nOWNER | Has overall responsibility for the success or failure of the project. Ensures that all the work gets done (directly or with helpers) and that others are involved appropriately. There should only be one owner.  \nCONSULTED | Should be asked for input or needs to be bought in to the project.  \nHELPER | Assists with or does some of the work.  \nAPPROVER | Signs off on decisions before they’re final. May be the manager, though might also be the executive director, external partner, or board chair.  \nManagers can use a very simple table to make clear who is assigned to what role. Note that the same individual might be assigned to more than one box:  \nProject: Setting agenda for annual convention  \n\n| Manager | Owner | Consulted | Helper(s) | Approver |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Ruth (Dep.\u003Cbr>Director) | Carlos (Dir. of Programs) | Ray (board\u003Cbr>chair), all program team members, Alex | Alex (on\u003Cbr>logistics),\u003Cbr>Dean (for\u003Cbr>input from\u003Cbr>members) | Melissa (ED) |\n\n1 We adapted this model from the “DARCI” model taught in some programs, which stands for: Decider, Accountable, Responsible, Consulted, Informed.","cbCaitBaSeYtyeRE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitBaSeYtyeRE","pdf",60152,"English","# Delegation Worksheet\n## Setting expectations for an assignment\n## The MOCHA role model\n## Role clarity table and example","[{\"question\":\"What should a team agree on when delegating a project assignment?\",\"answer\":\"The worksheet prompts agreement on what success looks like, the project due date and how it fits other priorities, where resources can be found, why the work matters and why the person should lead it, and who else should be involved.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the roles defined in the MOCHA model?\",\"answer\":\"MOCHA includes Manager (assigns responsibility and holds owner accountable), Owner (overall responsibility; only one owner), Consulted (provides input), Helper (assists or does part of the work), and Approver (signs off before decisions are final).\"},{\"question\":\"How can managers ensure alignment on key points and next steps?\",\"answer\":\"The worksheet suggests using verbal or written repeat-back and sharing a project plan, along with other approaches as needed to keep manager and staffer aligned.\"}]","Delegation Worksheet - MOCHA model - Assigning responsibilities | PDF",1789151677]
