The Interior Design Business CEO

152. Delegation, Productivity, and Deciding What's Next (Listener Q&A Part 1)


Listen Later

How do you manage growing pains when bringing on a new employee while keeping your business running smoothly? That’s the question one listener asked, and it’s one many designers face when adding their first junior designer. Stepping into leadership, delegating effectively, and staying productive can feel like a delicate balance, especially when client projects and daily design work don’t pause for training.

 

This episode kicks off a two-part Q&A series following CEO Summer School. I dive into practical strategies for onboarding and managing a new team member, pinpointing where delegation often breaks down, and building systems that actually work. I also tackle how to make major business decisions when multiple exciting paths are available, whether that’s growing your current business, pivoting to support other designers, or niching down further.
