hand over responsibility · transfer a task or role
You've been leading a project, but now it's time for someone else to take over, or you're moving to a new role. This phrase comes from relay races! 🏃♀️💨 It's perfect for when you need to clearly state that you're handing over duties or a project to another person or team. It emphasizes a smooth, continuous transition, rather than just dumping work on someone.
Your colleague, David, is taking over your project next month. Which English expression would you use to describe this transition? A. pass the baton B. run the numbers C. break a leg
💡 **Pro-Tip!** While it sounds like a sports term, "pass the baton" is very common in professional settings. Use it when discussing project handovers, team leadership changes, or transitioning responsibilities. Always ensure you provide a proper briefing when you 'pass the baton' to ensure a smooth transition! 😉
