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. Being able to offload projects from your business can seem like a great way to grow your business. 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.

For managers to avoid feeling stuck in between these two important groups for your success, I share 3 tactics that every manager should use. Make you like as a manager more enjoyable and professionally successful by keeping your boss and your team very happy with you! --- ---  How to deliver for both boss and team starts with understand what both parties want. If you don't find out what both parties really want and need keeping your boss and your team happy is nearly an impossible task. To balance your boss and your team, without feeling you are being batter from both sides. It is a good tactic to act as a bridge between the two groups rather than being a barrier. How to balance boss and team starts with expectations. When you set aligned expectations with boss and team, communicate them clearly and repeatedly, you will have the least hassle and disconnect. When the desires of both groups are out of alignment or in conflict, overcommunicate and negotiate balance your boss and your team's demands. Balancing boss and staff is not easy. It is easy to focus on one, rather than both. The wheels can start coming off the wagon if you do. One of the best ways to balance the demands of your boss and your team is to overcommunicate with both groups. Understanding and appreciate solves lots of problems. Lastly, for how to balance boss and team members, really work hard at delegating and developing your team. Delegating well gives you the personal space and time to focus on the highest value work you can and gives you time to develop the capability of your team. This enables you to delegate even more, and is essential to progress through the management ranks. If you have any questions on “How To Balance Boss And Staff – 3 Tactics For Managers To Keep Both Happy”, please email me at support@enhance.training and I will get back to you. Jess Coles enhance.training

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

Elsbeth Johnson, senior lecturer at the MIT Sloan School of Management, explains the four main reasons why we struggle -- both internal and external -- and outlines strategies for overcoming them to level up your delegation game.

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.

Today, Eric shares a recent coaching experience he had with an entrepreneur who was hesitant to grow her business because she was happy with her current setup and did not feel the need to expand.  Stay tuned as Eric takes a closer look at whether or not that way of working is, in fact, sustainable.  Growth Can Create Freedom Staying small might feel comfortable, but constantly jumping from one project to the next leaves little room for personal time or long-term progress. Growth allows business owners to step back from their daily tasks and invest their time where it truly matters- on clients, strategy, and the parts of the business they enjoy most. Delegation Is Essential Delegating is about sustainability rather than relinquishing control. Many entrepreneurs wait too long before trusting someone else with parts of their business, which often leads to burnout.  Delegation makes space for high-level focus and prevents the business from becoming overwhelming. Representation The most valuable contribution a business owner can make is representing the company and nurturing relationships, which includes sales, brand presence, and staying in touch with clients and prospects. Those are all time-consuming tasks, and the only way to prioritize them is by letting go of lower-level responsibilities. 80 Percent Is Good Enough Client satisfaction should guide your decisions around delegation, not perfectionism. No one will do things exactly the way you do. So, even if someone can only deliver 80 percent of your standard on your behalf, and the client is still satisfied, that is okay.  Personal Lessons from Early Burnout In the early years of his corporate events business, Eric believed no one could serve his clients as well as he could. So, he avoided delegating, fearing it would compromise his brand. This mindset led to exhaustion, and he nearly burned out. Only after hiring a project manager did he realize clients were happy even without his constant presence. That allowed him to build systems and focus on growth. Start with a Long-Term Vision You cannot make aligned decisions without a long-term vision. Defining what you want your life and business to look like in 10 years will give you the clarity to act with purpose. That clarity is also the foundation of strategic growth. Develop the Right Mindset Entrepreneurship is not linear. It is a rollercoaster of unpredictable challenges. To be successful, you must be mentally prepared, able to manage stress and stay focused on the reason you started. Surrounding yourself with the right kind of support and using tools like journaling and meditation can help you remain grounded. Manage the Chaos  Running a business means juggling high-level strategy with everyday tasks. Unpredictable factors add to the stress, especially in fast-moving industries. Learning to navigate the chaos is essential for staying grounded and moving forward. Stay Consistent  Progress comes from steady effort, not big leaps. Small, repeated actions will create meaningful change over time. Even when momentum feels slow, doing a little bit every day will impact your long-term results and the growth of your business. Sustainable Growth Requires All Three By combining your long-term vision with a strong mindset and daily consistency, you can create a foundation for healthy, sustainable business growth. Without those, it becomes much harder to build something lasting and fulfilling.

When you don't delegate, you risk impairing the growth of your organization, says Daniel in today's episode of The Leadership Growth Podcast.“That is a very limiting, very restrictive mindset,” he says. Choosing not to delegate will create bottlenecks in a system, and bottlenecks create inefficiencies.Delegating can be tough for many leaders. Personality traits, poor experiences, and even fears of micromanaging can interfere with efficient delegation.But as Daniel and Peter point out, delegation is an essential skill for all leaders to learn–for their own success and the success of their teams.Tune in to learn:Three reasons why you should delegateFour steps of effective delegationTwo vital words to use any time you assign a taskPlus, revisiting the origins of employee benefits, and why the employee experience matters even after someone leaves the organization.Questions, comments, or topic ideas?
