Most business owners struggle to delegate. They hold to a “must-do-it-all” mentality.
The business owner’s mindset focuses on control. This leads owners to believe the business can’t operate without them. They micromanage their teams instead of freeing them to build their skills.
Owners burn out when they constantly work in the business instead of on it. They end up overwhelmed, stagnant, and unable to grow.
CEOs focus on strategic leadership. They delegate every task team members can perform. Delegating frees CEOs to focus on growth instead of day-to-day work.
CEOs eliminate burn out by building processes and systems. They enable businesses to run efficiently when they aren’t there.
How to delegate like a brave CEO:
#1. Identify tasks only you can do.
Keep track of everything you do for a week. Make one long list. Highlight the items only you can do. Do one of three things with tasks you didn’t highlight. Delegate. Automate. Or eliminate.
#2. Set clear expectations.
Help people understand purpose by giving them the big-picture story. Explain task clearly. Define objectives.
#3. Equip team members.
Provide everyone with the tools and training they need for success. Enhance their existing skills and help them develop new ones.
#4. Set people free.
Allow everyone the freedom to work without micromanaging. Letting go is difficult but worth it. Your business will run more effectively once you master the art of delegating.
