Delegation is crucial for business growth, but it can be challenging to let go of control. As business owners, we are so passionate about the business we made from scratch that when we start to ask for help, it's still so hard to let go of a few things that drown us. But honestly, it's just simple. Mindset plays a crucial role and when you start with awareness and realise that it's easier to let go of a few tasks than to let go of the whole business itself, then everything falls into place.

Learning the delicate art of delegation usually requires a lot practice and patience.  It's a fine dance of constant refinement and adjustment to find the perfect balance of effective delegation that allows you to take your business to the next level.  Any successful business relies on a team structure for growth and efficiency. While one person may be able to do a lot, it's not possible for one person to do everything, and at some point, a team structure is a necessity. Team members can be in the same office, virtual employees, or independent contractors. You have options. As you may or may not know, people who work with me learn to focus their time on only the highest pay-off activities in order to help them reach their goals faster. So, what do these people do to accomplish these less important tasks? They delegate.Many of the tasks that take up the bulk of our time are not the tasks that are pushing us toward our goals. Think about your daily routine for a moment. How would your life be improved if someone else handled these “low-pay off tasks,” freeing up your time to take on more important matters?Make a list of the tasks that you currently handle that could be delegated to someone else. List the activity you would delegate and who you would assign that task to. If you do not have a “real” person who you could delegate the task to, write down the job title of a fictitious person.Each time you are doing something, ask yourself if this is something that can be delegated to someone else or are you the only person who can do it.  You may have to help coach or train someone but could someone else do what you are doing.  If the answer is yes, add it to the list of things that can be delegated.  If you can't delegate it now for whatever the reason, at least when you have someone to delegate to, you have now will have a list of activities that can be delegated.  You may want to begin creating your list now. To download a Free Delegation List Sample to help you identify more activities to delegate, go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/delegation-list-sample/.  Subscribe to my high-value proven business success tips and resources Blog (https://www.accountabilitycoach.com/blog/) Go to https://www.accountabilitycoach.com to check out for yourself how I, as your Accountability Coach™, can help you get and stay focused on you highest payoff activities that put you in the highest probability position to achieve your professional and personal goals, so you can enjoy the kind of business and life you truly want and deserve.  I'm the author of many books, including, Excuses Don't Count; Results Rule, Live Life with No Regrets, No Excuses, The Guide to Stopping Procrastination, and the Work Life Balance Emergency Kit, The Roadmap To Success with Stephen Covey and Ken Blanchard, and more.  Aim for what you want each and every day!  Anne BachrachThe Accountability Coach™

To Zach, one of the biggest obstacles for agency owners is clarity on how to hold people accountable. As leaders, we carry a huge weight on our shoulders and often think the answer to managing workload is hiring more people on the team. However, it all comes down to how they are delegating, holding people accountable, and driving clarity. Hiring more people can become the default response to a increased workload. However, if you were to examine your team's capacity, you would probably find faults with delegating and clarity that is costing them time. Fixing these issues leads to more work getting done without the need to make new hires. Furthermore, oftentimes we convince ourselves that it's easier and faster to just do things on our own. You may think “It'll take me 15 minutes to do it myself but an hour to explain it to someone else.” The problem is that if we multiply that times 20 or 50 now all our time is going to things other people could be even doing. Agency owners should start by auditing their time for one or two weeks to catch how much they're spending on low-level tasks. Ultimately, those 15-minute tasks add up to 10-15 hours a week that should be delegated to someone else. As an entrepreneur, is this the most effective use of your time? Effective Delegating Begins with the Agency Vision  Cutting down on tasks that are just draining you and taking away time from setting the vision for the agency reflects on your culture. Moreover, it's very likely that there are people on your team who find joy in some of these tasks. It takes a lot of self-awareness to know which tasks to delegate and do it wisely. Identifying the things you need to do in the business goes beyond just wanting to scale. Instead, think about what you would need to do to 20x the business. There are probably two or three big things you should be focusing on. Everything else you should delegate. Ultimately, a clear vision makes all the difference in achieving your goal. Without a clear vision, your team is just working on what they think is important. It's like your team is together in the same boat but everyone will be rowing in a different direction. This is a result of not dedicating enough time and energy to being a leader. As the agency leader you set the boat on it's course and everyone else to follows. Do you know what your destination is? You need to define where you're going as well as why and how you're going to get there. Why Every Visionary Needs an Operations Leader Being an agency Operations leader requires a particular skill set. When you're leading an agency it's your responsibility to keep everyone focused. It's the Visionary's job to be thinking in terms of the agency's future three, five, or ten years down the road. If they're not doing that, it won't grow and scale. In that sense, the Operatorations leader's job to determine what's best now and establish a working strategy to follow. The Operations leader indicates how to align people behind the vision so that it becomes more than just an idea. They also establish priorities and make the hard decisions. If this leader is doing their job, they'll probably say at some point “If we say yes to this then we have to say no to this other idea.” This may create a notion that operations are constantly saying no to the Visionary's ideas. That's not the case. They do say yes to things but they usually have to say no to something else. How Can You Hold Your Team Accountable to the Agency Vision? Pursuing the same goal as the company comes down to how you are holding people accountable. What does accountability look like? Zach says it comes down to clarity. People have to have deep clarity in their roles and contributions. The agency is investing in them and giving them trust to perform the job. Finally, when it comes to accountability, leaders need to have the ability to have hard conversations. Facing issues with the team head-on and with empathy will help you develop as a leader. The more a leader is willing to hold their team accountable, the less they actually have to do it. They'll do it for themselves. Avoiding uncomfortable accountability conversations only leads to a lack of accountability. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Morra Aarons-Mele: The Anxious Achiever Morra Aarons-Mele is the host of The Anxious Achiever, a top-10 management podcast that helps people rethink the relationship between their mental health and their leadership. Morra founded Women Online and The Mission List, an award-winning digital-consulting firm and influencer marketing company dedicated to social change, in 2010 and sold her business in 2021. She helped Hillary Clinton log on for her first internet chat and has launched digital campaigns for President Obama, Malala Yousafzai, the United Nations, the CDC, and many other leading figures and organizations. She is the author of The Anxious Achiever: Turn Your Biggest Fears into Your Leadership Superpower*. In this conversation, Morra and I discuss some key tactics that help leaders release just a bit of control. Since control is often driven by fear, we can let go of some control by making small shifts in our practices, awareness, and planning. We also explore how to set boundaries that will help us lead in ways that are more helpful to others — and ourselves. Key Points Control is often caused by fear. Optimism can be a bit of an antidote to it. Adopt a practice mindset by making small shifts to endure uncomfortable things. Practice open awareness throughs surrender; the opposite of controlling and micromanaging. Get clear on scheduling, deadlines, longer term career goals. Those provide a healthy illusion of control. Create a distinction between having an emotion and being the emotion. Begin setting boundaries by noticing when you are moving from comfort to discomfort.
