Podcasts about delegating

Ion Feldman, CTO at Rightway, has learned to love one thing about scaling a company from a kitchen table to nearly 1,000 employees: his job completely changes every six months. In this episode, Ion shares what it means to lead engineering when the role refuses to stay still—from writing code in the early days to building product, security, and data teams, and now shaping AI infrastructure. He explains how to stay hands-on without micromanaging, why he deliberately works himself out of roles by hiring people better than him, and how to preserve startup urgency inside a heavily regulated industry. If you've ever wondered how CTOs balance technical depth with business strategy while keeping their team fast and focused, this conversation delivers.Key TakeawaysTreat change as part of the job.Ion's leadership mindset centers on adapting to wherever the company needs him most—product, security, data, or AI. He views change as an opportunity to grow, not a disruption to avoid.Hire yourself out of the role.He dives deep into an area, builds it from scratch, then brings in experts who can take it to the next level. Once the right leadership is in place, he steps back completely and lets them own it.Hands-on time creates credibility.Ion makes sure every leader spends time building. Each quarter, his team takes a week off from meetings and Slack to focus on creating something new. It keeps them close to the work and sharp as technical leaders.AI adoption needs clarity and focus.Rightway avoids vague “use AI” goals by targeting clear use cases like unit test generation and onboarding to codebases. Sharing examples and results drives faster adoption than leaving teams to figure it out alone.Fail fast and move forward.Ion builds space for experimentation but expects quick recognition of failure. The goal is not to avoid mistakes but to learn, pivot, and evolve faster.Timestamped Highlights[02:10] The zero to one mindset – Why Ion thrives on constant reinvention and the satisfaction of building new functions from the ground up.[06:41] Three pillars of AI strategy – How Rightway is transforming work through AI enablement, applied projects, and bold experiments.[08:26] Delegating by design – How going deep before handing off creates clarity and trust across teams.[15:42] Skills that matter later – Ion reflects on learning public speaking and business fluency after years of technical focus.[17:48] Creating space for risk – How to give your team agency to take on big challenges and fail fast without fear.[21:22] Preparing successors – Why the best leaders hire people who will replace them and rethink everything they built.What Stuck With Us"I don't know, maybe I just get bored easily. I think a lot of people could view it as a burden and they want to stay in their lane of expertise, but I see it as an opportunity to learn and change things up."Pro Tips for Tech LeadersTake a week each quarter to build something with zero meetings or Slack. It reconnects you and your team with what you actually love about engineering.Wait to hire senior leadership until the need is undeniable. The role becomes meaningful, and you'll attract higher caliber talent.Give your engineers specific AI examples and let them experiment from there. Adoption follows clarity, not mandates.

Delegation is motivation.

How to Build a High-Performing Sales Team in a Founder-Led Business: Insights from Nicholas LoiseFor many small and midsize business owners, sales can be both the engine and the bottleneck of growth. Founder-led sales will only take a company so far before scalability demands process, structure, and leadership. In this episode, host Josh Elledge speaks with Nicholas Loise, Founder of Sales Performance Team, who shares practical strategies for transitioning from founder-driven selling to building a high-performing, self-sustaining sales organization.Building a Scalable Sales SystemNicholas Loise explains that most founders struggle with hiring salespeople because they underestimate how different it is to sell for a small business compared to a large enterprise. Without the backing of a big brand, sales success depends on grit, creativity, and adaptability. He emphasizes that before hiring, founders must document their entire sales process—from prospecting and discovery to objection handling and closing—so new hires have a clear roadmap to follow.Once the playbook is in place, Nicholas recommends hiring two salespeople at once to increase the chances of success, benchmark performance, and encourage healthy collaboration. He also stresses the importance of investing heavily in the first 90 days, creating structured onboarding, shadowing opportunities, and clear milestones to ensure quick ramp-up and retention. Compensation should be simple and transparent, typically a mix of base salary plus commission that motivates results while providing stability during onboarding.Finally, Nicholas discusses how to maintain oversight without micromanaging. Delegating sales effectively requires trust—but also process. Regular reviews, feedback loops, and continuous updates to your playbook keep the system strong. By using objective assessment tools and focusing on cultural fit, founders can build sales teams that scale sustainably and deliver consistent performance long after they've stepped out of the front-line role.About Nicholas LoiseNicholas Loise is the Founder of Sales Performance Team and a seasoned sales strategist who helps founder-led businesses build scalable, high-performing sales teams. With decades of experience in sales leadership, Nicholas specializes in designing sales playbooks, recruiting and onboarding top-performing reps, and aligning compensation structures that drive profitable growth.About Sales Performance TeamSales Performance Team helps $1M–$25M companies transition from founder-led selling to a system-driven sales organization. The firm provides fractional sales leadership, sales team recruitment, onboarding systems, compensation design, and proven frameworks that help founders replace intuition with strategy—and build a sales team that consistently delivers results.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeSales Performance Team WebsiteNicholas Loise LinkedIn ProfileKey Episode HighlightsFounders often struggle to hire sales reps because they underestimate how different small-business selling is from enterprise sales.Documenting your entire sales process—from prospecting to closing—is essential before stepping out of the role.Hiring two salespeople at once improves benchmarking, morale, and retention while reducing hiring risk.Strong onboarding within the first 90 days directly impacts sales performance and long-term success.Keep compensation plans simple, transparent, and performance-driven to attract and retain top...

Mastering Productivity: How to Treat Time Like Cash and Build Sustainable SuccessIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge sits down with Andrew Hartman, Founder and CEO of Time Boss, to explore a transformative approach to productivity. Andrew challenges the traditional hustle mindset, advocating instead for sustainable focus, intentional time management, and a “time-as-cash” philosophy. Their discussion reveals how leaders can achieve meaningful results by aligning energy, setting boundaries, and working smarter—not harder.Rethinking Productivity: Sustainability Over HustleAndrew explains that productivity isn't about staying busy—it's about getting the right things done. He encourages founders and executives to treat time like a limited resource, allocating it intentionally toward high-impact work. By setting a weekly “time budget,” business leaders can prioritize key results, prevent burnout, and maintain clarity around what truly matters.He also highlights the importance of sustainability over short-term sprints. Hustle can drive short bursts of progress, but without recovery, it leads to exhaustion. Instead, Andrew recommends anchoring to a steady baseline of work hours and recharging regularly to stay consistent. He reminds leaders that “boundaries aren't restrictive—they're empowering.” The discipline of protecting your time actually frees you to focus more deeply on creative and strategic work.Lastly, Andrew emphasizes the power of working in your zone of genius—the tasks that energize you and align with your strengths. Delegating draining work and using simple, familiar tools for time management (like a calendar or to-do list) can dramatically boost both productivity and satisfaction. True efficiency, he says, comes not from shiny new apps, but from consistent habits and clear priorities.About Andrew HartmanAndrew Hartman is the Founder and CEO of Time Boss, a productivity training company that helps entrepreneurs and executives design intentional, sustainable schedules for success. With years of experience coaching business owners, Andrew has developed frameworks like “time-as-cash” and “intentional time budgeting” to help clients achieve more by doing less—without burnout.About Time BossTime Boss is a coaching and training platform dedicated to helping professionals reclaim their time and focus on meaningful results. Through masterclasses, workshops, and personalized consulting, Time Boss equips individuals and teams to set clear priorities, align their energy with their goals, and create balance between work and life.Links Mentioned in this EpisodeTime Boss WebsiteAndrew Hartman LinkedIn ProfileKey Episode HighlightsWhy productivity is about results, not busynessHow to apply the “time-as-cash” framework for better boundariesCreating a weekly time budget for focus and clarityWorking in your “zone of genius” to maximize energy and impactWhy sustainable habits outperform constant hustleConclusionAndrew Hartman's insights remind us that success isn't built on endless work—it's built on intention, focus, and balance. By treating time as your most valuable currency, setting boundaries, and operating in your strengths, you can create both sustainable productivity and a fulfilling lifestyle.

As your freelance business grows, you hit an inevitable ceiling: there's only so much you can do yourself. But delegating effectively is harder than it sounds.

Leadership carries with it a measure of loneliness. The leader must create a vision and motivate his people, and the tendency of the leader is to shoulder the weight alone.

This week I was joined by the amazing Brianna Glenn, co-host of Masters In Travel Podcast and owner of Milk + Honey Travels.

The problem, unfortunately, is that we get so focussed on what we can get rid of that we fail to set up the systems and processes to be able to effectively delegate projects. The ability for your business to grow depends on the health of your team - but you will never have a truly healthy team without a healthy leader. This episode is packed with content all about hiring, onboarding, and, of course, what it means to be a healthy leader so that your expectations are in alignment with reality.

Quality leadership that grows your accounting practice isn't about pushing your team to work harder. While it may sound counterintuitive, modeling a healthy, balanced life is what actually moves the needle. In this episode of The Accountant's Flight Plan, Rob Dube opens the conversation by emphasizing that when leaders prioritize wellness, the team will follow suit. This results in less burnout, fewer mistakes, better client service, and a more harmonious work environment. If you are happy in your work and life, your team and CPA practice will thrive as well. Brannon and Rob also discuss the importance of vulnerability and authentic connection to maintain effective leadership. By sharing your personal story with partners, employees, and close peers, leaders build trust and authentic engagement. Some practical ways to start doing this could be asking for feedback from your close friends and peers on what your strengths and weaknesses are, allowing leaders to shed their “armor”. This can lead to more self-awareness and foster deeper relationships and a higher-energy workplace.To conclude, Rob and Brannon discuss the importance of setting boundaries to prioritize high-value work. The effectiveness of avoiding hustle culture, taking time off, and delegating lower-value tasks ensures that leaders remain energized for what truly matters. By focusing on purpose, energy, and mindful action, leaders can build resilient teams, sustainable practices, and more fulfilling lives.Timestamp List: Key Sections:02:00 - Introducing The Ten Disciplines04:00 - Climbing the Two Mountains: Achievement vs. Meaning07:00 - Chaos vs. Awareness: Tuning Into Your Body11:00 - Understanding the Driven Personality14:00 - Vulnerability and the Inner Story21:00 - Practical Steps to Peel Back the Armor26:00 - Combatting Hustle Culture and Setting Boundaries31:00 - Delegating and Avoiding Low-Value Work37:00 - Resources and Key TakeawaysLink to full listing: https://poegroupadvisors.com/practice/sc2038/ Firm Highlights:- Young, energetic owner committed to staying 10+ years to run and grow the firm.- Selling 70–100% equity, with plans to offer key employees an ownership stake.- 3+ CPAs on staff and over 20 employees.- High-net-worth clients with strong loyalty and consistent referrals.- 78% of services tied to business clients.

When words fail, AI-generated vows prevail. Delegating writing duties to artificial intelligence is the ultramodern, if controversial, way approximately 25% of today's sweeties say they're saving time, stress and money on increasingly costly nuptials.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Monday, the maniac who was gunned down by New York's Finest after trying to bust into a Brooklyn precinct and slashing a hero cop in the face was a 36-year-old nut with a rap sheet.We continue our coverage of The Road To City Hall. With 56 days to go until the election, Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo will score a key endorsement Saturday from Local 3 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, his first union backing for the general election in NYC's mayoral race.And in Chicago, The Rev.

Curiosity can change the way we lead, work, and grow. In this episode of The Richer Geek, operations professional and entrepreneur Jon Bassford shares how curiosity shaped his career and why it's the key to building stronger teams, smarter businesses, and better results. In this episode, we chat about… How Jon went from law school to operations leadership. What it means to be a curious leader. The three shifts leaders need: mindset, operations, and culture. Google's study on psychological safety and why it matters. Stories from Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos that show the impact of curiosity. Why founders should hire outside their strengths instead of trying to do it all. How curiosity shows up in both business and co-parenting. Key Takeaways: Curiosity helps leaders move past habits and try new approaches. A culture of curiosity starts with making people feel safe to speak up. Leaders need to ask questions and not settle for “this is how it's done.” Founders often waste time by hiring in their strengths instead of their gaps. Delegating low-value tasks saves energy for the work that matters most. Curiosity is not just for business, it can also improve family and personal life.   Resources from Jon LinkedIn | jonbassford.com | Lateral Solutions  Grab your free chapter of The Curious Leader by texting “chapter” to 33777 Resources from Mike and Nichole Gateway Private Equity Group |  Nic's guide

In this episode, Molly sits down with Attorney Ellen Cookman and Office Manager, Wendy Farrie to share how Cookman Law built a thriving remote firm serving all of California. From estate planning to special needs advocacy, they reveal how clear delegation, intentional leadership, confidence, and team empowerment fuel both client care and strategic growth. Tune in for actionable insights on running a modern, mission-driven law firm.   Key Takeaways:   Building a law firm around a strong, supportive team makes remote work not just possible—but powerful—for serving more clients across a larger area. Delegating the right tasks to the right people isn't just smart—it lets your team shine while keeping client care seamless and operations running smoothly. Standing out doesn't require gimmicks—it's about showing up in fresh ways, like YouTube videos or trust maintenance programs that truly serve clients. Growth happens when you're willing to have the hard conversations, push past personal roadblocks, and create space for your team to speak up and step up. When your firm's culture reflects your personal values—like prioritizing work-life balance—it creates an environment where everyone can thrive, not just survive.   Quotes for the Show: "I blinked, and she's already acting as office manager. I'm like, well, let's just put a title to it and a pay raise." — Ellen Cookman "When Ellen has a big idea, I make it happen and ensure that it runs smoothly from beginning to end." — Wendy Farrie   Connect with Ellen: Website: https://www.cookmanlaw.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ellen-cookman/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cookman-law/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cookmanlaw/ YouTube: Ellen Cookman - Special Needs Trust Attorney   Links: Website: https://hiringandempowering.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hiringandempowering Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiringandempowering LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hiring&empoweringsolutions/ The Law Firm Admin Bootcamp + Academy™ : https://www.lawfirmadminbootcamp.com/ Get Fix My Boss Book: https://amzn.to/3PCeEhk   Ways to Tune In: Amazon Music - https://www.amazon.com/Hiring-and-Empowering-Solutions/dp/B08JJSLJ7N Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hiring-and-empowering-solutions/id1460184599 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3oIfsDDnEDDkcumTCygHDH Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/hiring-and-empowering-solutions YouTube - https://youtu.be/2NyzOxB-bNM

Tarina notices that Nic is drinking the “healthy” coffee she bought him—and he mentions something about “dropping a load.” He was actually talking about this episode's topic on Delegation.“If someone can do it 80% as good as you, let them do it,” Tarina quotes. Nic adds, “When in doubt, sub it out.” Our job is to do the thing we do best and ask others to do the rest.Nic talks about an activity he does in his workshops. He observes how these leaders he speaks to are achievers and doers, but they don't delegate. He has them write down every task they do in a day, then go back and circle those items which create your value.In the context of work, your value to an organization is where you make your money. Nic recounts how he used to be a one-man band—chief cook and bottle washer. He knows now that his real value is in creating and delivering leadership content.When looking at your list ask: What is the busy work? This is the stuff you avoid doing or don't do well. Delegating has freed up his time to focus what's most important and deliver more value to his clients.What's important for leaders to realize is to delegate ownership of the project not just the task. When we transfer ownership of that project only then do free ourselves from the mental stress.When you delegate you might identify a future leader. As a leader, a primary reason for why you get paid what you get paid is to develop future leaders.

Too many managers fail to delegate sufficiently. In many cases, managers don't know how or what to delegate. But even when some managers have a sense of what and how, they don't delegate. This is often because they don't know the hidden dangers of NOT delegating!
