# ChatGPT Prompt: Delegation Failure Cascade

## Intent

Show how failure to delegate creates system bottlenecks and cascading failure.

## Reverse Engineering Note

This entry was reverse-engineered from visual inspection of the phone photo. Original generation context is not available. Core claim reconstructed from composition analysis.

## Primary Doctrine

Failure to properly delegate creates bottlenecks that cascade into system failure.

Core bottleneck pattern:
- Leader unable or unwilling to delegate → decision-making concentrates → bottleneck forms → system stalls → failure cascade begins.

## Visual Framing (Reverse-Engineered)

Expected composition: bottleneck formation and delegation failure consequences.

Example scenario: all decisions flow through one person → throughput drops → backlog accumulates → team morale falls → system fails to adapt → collapse.

## Constraints

- Keep the delegation responsibility visible.
- Keep the distinction between leadership and bottleneck clear.
- Avoid both micro-management polemic and hands-off polemic.
