I would use your previous knowledge of doing this task and figuring out a model that will aid these managers/supervisors in doing the same. Having a clear guideline to follow but allowing them to go about it how they see fit as long as they're achieving the desired result.
You're going to have to find a flow that works for you, but know that it could vary based on client. At my agency, Directors don't actually DO anything. And I don't mean that they're not working (cause they are!), but all internal communication and asset production is handled by Account Managers. The Director is responsible for maintaining the client relationship (which looks different for different clients - sometimes in person meetings, sometimes informal phone calls, etc), and directs what needs to happen on the account. They are responsible for top level strategy, but it's the Manager's job to execute.
Now, we do have some Senior level Managers who take on more Director-level client duties for some clients (like leading meetings and presenting results). So a lot comes down to your clients and your team and who is a good fit for the work.
If it was my call, I'd present to goals to the team And ask for volunteers on more of a closer look, to see where my strengths were, as you do delegate the rest of the tasks
