Hand over the whole job, not one question at a time.
Maria switches the Brain to Coworker and types: “Every lead with no next action: draft a follow-up and plan a call.” The Brain lays out a plan card: find the leads, read each conversation, draft the messages, create the tasks. It ticks the steps off as it goes. Reading runs on its own. Creating tasks waits for Maria, because the Brain is in Approval mode. She approves three tasks and edits one draft.
