The Delegation Leak

Most owners delegate the wrong things to the wrong people at the wrong time. The Delegation Leak is the cost of holding on to tasks below your pay grade and dumping the ones that need you most.

What only you can do

Delegation is not just handing things off. It’s deciding which things should never have been on your list, which need a system, and which only you can do. Get that wrong and you’ll either burn out or watch your business stall.
