I’m a senior consultant and have been running a project. Theres an associate consultant that’s trying to hijack the leadership role it feels like by delegating roles and the like without referring to me first. How should I handle this without escalating?

Who is the associate delegating work to? The intern?

funny

The other thing to do is communicate with the other associate consultants and make it clear that the chain of command does not run through the AC

Dealt with this as well - address to the AC as you seemingly already did. If it happens again you can go mention it to the SM/Partner if you have a good relationship with them.

I was lucky that the partner noticed it too and pulled the AC for a chat herself.

helpful

Tell the AC that you appreciate them taking initiative, but they need to run things through you first to ensure there is no confusion and for your awareness

Communicate with the team.

During our last meeting I made roles very clear for the near future and made sure no one had any questions.
