Why Your Delegation Is Creating More Work for You
You say you want your team to take more initiative. You say you want to be able to step away. But then you step back in, fix the thing, clean it up, and hand it back. And you wonder why nothing ever really gets off your plate. This episode is about the hardest truth in entrepreneurship: the reason your delegation is not working is probably you. Episode Overview This one goes deep into the difference between radical responsibility and over-functioning, why the most competent women in the room are often the ones carrying the most responsibility that was never theirs to begin with, and how rescuing your team is quietly training them to depend on you. I also walk through a framework for sorting your responsibilities into four categories so you can stop doing the thing that is keeping you exhausted. In This Episode Find out why the more reliable, resourceful, and capable you become, the more responsibility quietly gets stacked onto your plate without you ever consciously choosing it. Learn the difference between owning your part and owning everybody else's part, and why most women who come to me are doing the second one while calling it leadership. Discover why repeatedly stepping in for your team is not helpful, it is disempowering, and how it is building a business that literally cannot function without your constant presence. Hear the four categories every responsibility in your business and life falls into, and how sorting them changes what you actually have to carry going forward. Walk away with the one question to ask yourself before you step in and fix something, and why the answer will tell you everything you need to know about why your delegation keeps failing.
