Most leaders think delegation is about telling people what to do. But what if the real bottleneck isn't your team's capacity but your relationship with control, perfectionism, and hard conversations? In this episode, Brett shares his own struggle with delegation across multiple growing businesses, and Joe offers a framework for moving from vision to execution without falling into the traps of micromanagement or hands-off abandonment. Together, they explore: Why the leader's job is not to take care of everybody Distilling strategy and vision into the "one thing" that makes everything else easier or irrelevant Solution criteria: how to delegate without dictating or abandoning Why alignment comes from handling objections, not convincing Making it safe (and expected) for your team to say no Why "management" is often a symptom of missing trust Holding people accountable without making it about "trouble" Scheduling hard conversations on your calendar (literally) Institutionalizing appreciation without making it cheesy Why your company is a reflection of your own consciousness Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
