Podcasts about Delegation

We've been taught that leaders should always communicate with crystal clarity. But here's the paradox: when you specify exactly what you want, you often get work that's technically correct—but uninspired.In this episode, Allison introduces the concept of Strategic Ambiguity—the art of being clear about outcomes but flexible about methods. She breaks down three strategies leaders can use right away:The Outcome Frame – Define the result, not the process.The Constraint Method – Set boundaries, then let your team find the path.The Discovery Invitation – Ask better questions instead of giving ready-made answers.You'll hear how one leader transformed their product development process—and gained a competitive edge—by replacing detailed instructions with problem statements.Key Takeaway: Purpose should always be clear. But methods? Sometimes the best results come from giving your team the freedom to figure it out.Challenge for Leaders: This week, try using the Outcome Frame on a project where you'd normally give detailed instructions. Define success clearly but leave the “how” open—and see what your team creates.

If you think delegation is just about getting things off your plate, I want to challenge that. When done well, it's a strategy for leadership, trust, and growth. But most of us fall into the habit of doing too much, holding on too long, or checking in so much that we defeat the purpose entirely.In this episode, I'm sharing what effective delegation really looks like, and how to use it as a tool to develop your team, build trust, and free yourself up to lead. Because if you're the one doing everything, you're not leading… you're blocking.In this episode, I'll cover:How to delegate in a way that develops your team (not just unloads tasks)What your delegation style says about your leadershipA simple 4-step framework to delegate with clarity and confidence_____________________

In this episode of Grow Think Tank, I explore the biggest ceo mistakes frequently make that can hinder their long-term success. Drawing from my experience as a CEO coach, I highlight the importance of leadership cultivation within teams and the detrimental effects of being too central to the business's value. I discuss how founder-led companies often face lower valuations and emphasize the need for delegation and empowerment to foster team ownership. I address how the instinct to control can lead to micromanagement, ultimately alienating high performers. Finally, I stress the significance of recognizing blind spots for effective leadership. Listeners are invited to my free training session to delve deeper into these strategies for overcoming common CEO challenges and enhancing growth. Biggest CEO Mistakes Being the Most Important Person Outworking the Problem Holding onto Control Being the Most Important Person In this episode of Grow Think Tank, I delve into the critical mistakes CEOs often make that can undermine long-term success. One of the first and most common is believing you must be the most important person in the business. If everything revolves around you, your company is likely less valuable than it could be. Research shows that founder-led businesses often receive a 30% lower valuation compared to those that run independently of their founders. Why? Businesses that rely too heavily on a single leader don't scale well and aren't attractive to investors or buyers. As a CEO coach, I help leaders step out of the spotlight and develop leadership within their teams. Creating value means building a company that thrives without you at the center, where leadership is distributed and the organization is resilient beyond one individual. Outworking the Problem In the early stages of a company, CEOs often get by through sheer effort. You face a problem, and you work harder. But as the business grows, this “outworking the problem” mindset becomes a liability. It's a mistake to think hustle alone will solve scaling challenges. Eventually, this leads to burnout, bottlenecks, and a team that doesn't grow because you're still doing all the heavy lifting. Instead, the focus must shift toward delegation and empowerment. Leadership is not about doing more; it's about enabling others to take ownership. This transition is where many founders struggle, but it's also where true growth begins. Holding onto Control Finally, we address a trap that many founders fall into: holding onto control for too long. In the early days, this level of control can help maintain quality and speed. But as your business scales, that same control can strangle progress. Micromanaging alienates high performers and slows innovation. I've seen it time and time again: capable leaders leave because they aren't trusted, and the company plateaus. Growth requires trust and trust means letting go. Transitioning from founder to CEO demands a shift in mindset. You have to evolve from being the person doing everything to the person who builds the team that does everything. That shift is hard but absolutely necessary. Final Thought If you're serious about becoming the kind of leader your growing company needs, it starts with identifying these blind spots. Throughout this episode, I share insights, experiences, and strategies to help you make the shift from founder to CEO. Join me in a free training session where we go deeper into each of these mistakes and how to overcome them so you can lead with intention and scale your business the right way.

It's about building a team that thrives without your constant involvement.The three delegation traps: lack of trust, guilt about overloading your team, and unclear boundaries.Credibility is at stake.

It is a multiplier of your impact.” – Karen GombaultLeadership isn't about doing it all yourself—it's about knowing when to step in, when to collaborate, and when to step back so your team can lead with you.RESOURCES & NEXT STEPS:Set up a call to discuss potentially working together: https://zcal.co/karengombault/connectFree Resource: Build Your Visibility At Work → https://www.karengombault.com/getnoticed1:1 Executive Coaching – My high-level, science-backed coaching partnership → https://www.karengombault.com/privatecoachingConnect with Karen on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karengombault/

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____Burnout was Skye Waterson's PhD companion. She'd switch majors—psychology to law to sociology—convinced each time that she just hadn't found her passion yet. The truth was simpler and more complex: she was trying to outwork her undiagnosed ADHD, and no amount of grinding harder was going to fix a brain that needed different systems entirely. By the time she finished her master's thesis, she was so burned out she couldn't even process being offered a guaranteed PhD scholarship. Instead, she worked at a bakery and took art classes until her now-husband asked the obvious question: "Wait, you did a master's? You have a scholarship? What's going on?"The ADHD diagnosis came at the perfect time—right as she was starting her PhD. Instead of seeing it as a limitation, Skye turned her academic brain toward understanding how her mind actually worked. She started researching, writing articles, and building the productivity systems that traditional advice couldn't provide. What began as survival became her calling, and eventually, her business grew so successful that her supervisors encouraged her to leave academia entirely.Now, as founder of Unconventional Organisation, Skye helps entrepreneurs, founders, and executives scale their businesses without scaling their stress. In this conversation, she and Tracy dive into why neurotypical productivity advice fails ADHD brains, how to prioritize when everything feels urgent, and Skye's game-changing approach to delegation using AI. They explore her "recipe" method for breaking down tasks, why the Pomodoro technique wasn't designed for us, and how understanding dopamine timing can revolutionize your work flow.Resources:Website: https://www.unconventionalorganisation.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unconventionalorganisation LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/skye-waterson-026286204 Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Instead of Struggling to figure out what to do next? ADHD isn't a productivity problem. It's an identity problem. That's why most strategies don't stick—they weren't designed for how your brain actually works. Your ADHD Brain is A-OK Academy is different. It's a patented, science-backed coaching program that helps you stop fighting your brain and start building a life that fits.

In this episode, I'm talking about one of my favorite topics—delegation—and how it connects directly to boundaries. Too often we hold back from delegating because we're afraid someone else will “mess it up” or won't do it the way we would. But here's the truth: by refusing to delegate, weoverload ourselves, limit our growth, and block our team from stepping into their potential.I share insights from a recent presentation I gave at the Louisiana Society of CPAs Women's Conference, along with real examples of how delegation has shaped my own career. You'll hear why fear is the wrong reason not to delegate, how to reframe it as a boundary-setting tool, and why empowering others is key to being a stronger leader.If you've been hesitating to let go of tasks—even the ones you know you shouldn't be doing—this episode will help you flip the script and start small. Because setting boundaries through delegation isn't just about your workload, it's about creating space for everyone to grow.⁠Connect with Melissa on LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn about Melissa's Keynote Presentation

Micromanagement wurzelt selten im Unvermögen des Teams, sondern in alten Mustern, verletzten Anteilen und der Angst, Kontrolle zu verlieren. Vanessa Laszlo zeigt, warum viele Führungskräfte sich zwischen Überverantwortung und Schmerzvermeidung verlieren und wie Überleistung als Schutzmechanismus wirkt. Einstieg in Delegation verlangt mehr als neue Tools – erst die Auseinandersetzung mit eigenen Grenzen und Wunden macht nachhaltigen Wandel möglich. Für alle, die Leistung neu deuten möchten. Du erfährst... ...wie Vanessa Laszlo emotionale Wunden als Karriere-Chance sieht. ...warum Micromanagement oft aus Angst vor Kontrollverlust entsteht. ...wie du durch Delegation Raum für strategisches Denken schaffst. ...warum Overachieving nicht gleich Peak Performance bedeutet. ...wie du mit der Skill-Will-Hill-Matrix Aufgaben effektiv delegierst. __________________________ ||||| PERSONEN |||||

In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, John McMahon and John Kaplan are joined by Tom Heiser to explore the true meaning of empowerment, accountability, and intent in leadership. From the dangers of “pocket vetoes” to the military-inspired concept of Commander's Intent, this discussion unpacks how transformational leaders create environments where teams thrive.

You're not alone. As small business owners, we're often told that success only comes from hustling harder, working 24/7, and showing up on every single platform. But here's the truth: hustle culture is a lie, and it's costing you your peace, your joy, and sometimes even your profits. In today's episode of How to Grow My Small Business, I'm getting real about hustle culture, margin, and why constantly being “busy” isn't the badge of honor we think it is. Instead of cramming 20 pounds of potatoes in a five-pound sack (yes, I've been guilty of that!), I want to show you how to break free from overcommitment, set boundaries, and create space to breathe in both your life and your business. We'll talk about: The symptoms of hustle culture you might be experiencing right now (think exhaustion, snapping at loved ones, or feeling out of control). The roots of busyness—fear of failure, pride, misplaced identity—and how they might be driving your decisions. Biblical examples of rest and margin that model how we're meant to live and lead, not hustle endlessly. Practical ways to create space in your business, from delegating tasks like bookkeeping or social media to evaluating your calendar and cutting what doesn't serve you. How margin can fuel creativity, problem-solving, and long-term growth in your business. If you've ever woken up already overwhelmed, ended your day still exhausted, or felt like you can't keep up no matter how much you accomplish, this episode will encourage you to step off the hamster wheel and choose a better way. It's time to unsubscribe from hustle culture and start running your business with strategy, clarity, and margin. Let's break up with busy—together.

Alex Raymond, founder of Amplify and creator of the Conscious Entrepreneur Summit, returns to share what's happened since he set a bold goal on stage: turning Amplify into a $3M business in two years. Inspired by Dr. Benjamin Hardy's “10x Is Easier Than 2x” and “The Science of Scaling,” Alex explains how “pathways thinking” has shifted his focus from incremental tasks to operating as if the goal is already achieved.   One of the biggest shifts? Writing his first book, “The Growth Department.” Alex opens up about the discipline, support, and courage it takes to codify his ideas into something meaningful, rather than just another business book. He also shares how building a mastermind after the summit has created accountability, momentum, and a community committed to thinking bigger together.   This conversation raises questions every founder faces: Are you running your business from a place of scarcity or scale? What would change if you truly operated from your goal, not just toward it?   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction and Big Goals 01:25 Pathways Thinking and 10X Growth 02:40 Writing The Growth Department 04:27 Book Timeline and Value Creation 09:58 Delegation and Building Scalable Structures 12:56 Mastermind Group and Accountability 14:53 Using AI as a Thinking Partner 16:28 Community, Momentum, and Entrepreneur Wellbeing 20:50 Lessons from Podcasting and Entrepreneurship   Connect with Alex Raymond: Visit AMplify Connect with Alex on LinkedIn   Connect with Sarah Lockwood: Visit HiveCast Connect with Sarah on LinkedIn   Connect with The Conscious Entrepreneur: The Conscious Entrepreneur  Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on LinkedIn Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on Instagram  Subscribe to The Conscious Entrepreneur on YouTube   HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 408 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION Join Craig and Pete as they discuss the common struggle of dental professionals feeling they lack time. They explore the paradox of wanting to grow their practices while also seeking more freedom and time for personal life. The discussion delves into the importance of delegation, training associates, and the emotional aspects of time and money. They emphasize the need for first principles thinking to identify true goals and the role of partnerships in achieving growth.  TAKEAWAYS Many dentists feel they lack time but seek freedom. The pursuit of money often masks the desire for time. Scaling a dental practice requires effective delegation. Training associates is crucial for business growth. Time and money are emotional concepts, not just physical. First principles thinking helps clarify true goals. Partnerships can enhance business growth and personal satisfaction. The diminishing pie theory can trap dentists in their practices. Personal reflection is essential for understanding one's goals. Finding clarity in what you want is key to happiness.

Links Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights In this episode of the Leading Saints podcast, Kurt interviews Golden, a former bishop from Bettendorf, Iowa, who shares his experiences and insights from his five-year tenure in leadership during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. The conversation focuses on mental health, vulnerability in leadership, and the importance of community support. Key Insights: Mental Health Awareness: Golden discusses his struggles with mental health, particularly during a significant crash after a year and a half of service. He emphasizes the importance of seeking help and the positive impact of counseling and medication. Vulnerability in Leadership: By sharing his personal challenges with his ward, Golden fostered a culture of openness, encouraging others to share their struggles and creating a supportive environment. The Sariah Factor: Golden introduces the concept of the Sariah Factor, highlighting the need for leaders to trust their perspective and discernment, even when others may not understand the decisions being made. Delegation and Empowerment: He shares how he empowered his ward leaders, such as the Relief Society and Elders Quorum presidents, to take on responsibilities, which helped alleviate his workload and fostered a sense of ownership among leaders. Community Support: Golden underscores the importance of community, noting that members often overlook the challenges faced by their leaders. Simple expressions of gratitude can significantly uplift those in leadership roles. Leadership Applications: Encourage Open Communication: Leaders should create an environment where members feel comfortable sharing their struggles, which can strengthen community bonds and support. Prioritize Mental Health: Leaders should recognize the importance of mental health and seek help when needed, setting an example for others to do the same. Empower Others: By delegating responsibilities and trusting ward leaders, bishops can manage their workload more effectively while fostering leadership skills in others, ultimately benefiting the entire ward. 05:32 - Calling as Bishop During COVID-19 07:18 - Navigating Early Days as Bishop 08:58 - Demographics of the Ward 10:45 - Reflection on Serving as Bishop 11:19 - Responsibilities of a Bishop 15:43 - Challenges and Overwhelm in Leadership 17:00 - Mental Health Struggles and Support 20:05 - Finding Help and Guidance 21:57 - The Importance of Vulnerability in Leadership 30:02 - Opening Up to the Ward About Struggles 33:44 - The Sariah Factor in Leadership Decisions 38:21 - Examples of Leadership Challenges 49:02 - The Messiness of Revelation in Leadership 51:19 - Normalizing Struggles in Leadership The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.
