Use when categorizing tasks for delegation using the Delegate and Elevate 4-quadrant framework
Categorize a leader's tasks and responsibilities into the Delegate and Elevate 4-quadrant matrix based on enjoyment and competency. Identify what to keep, what to delegate, and create action plans for handing off work that doesn't belong in the leader's "Love It / Great At It" quadrant.
Not for: People evaluation (use ceos-people), organizational structure (use ceos-accountability), or performance conversations (use ceos-quarterly). Delegate and Elevate is a leadership development tool — it helps leaders focus on their highest and best use, not assess fit or performance.
Search upward from the current directory for the .ceos marker file. This file marks the root of the CEOS repository.
If .ceos is not found, stop and tell the user: "Not in a CEOS repository. Clone your CEOS repo and run setup.sh first."
Sync before use: Once you find the CEOS root, run git -C <ceos_root> pull --ff-only --quiet 2>/dev/null to get the latest data from teammates. If it fails (conflict or offline), continue silently with local data.
