Managing Made Simple

233: Why you're still the point person for everything


Listen Later

You've done the work. You've hired people, set expectations, had the conversations. And you're still the final sign off on everything. Still in too many meetings. Still making decisions you shouldn't have to be making.

This episode is about what's actually blocking you, and it's almost never delegation itself. There are three things that have to be in place before delegation can work, and this episode breaks down all three.

In this episode you will learn:

  • Why being stuck as the point person for everything is almost never a delegation problem, and what it actually is
  • How to evaluate whether you have the right people in the right roles, and what to do when you don't
  • The question you have to answer about your own focus before you can figure out what to hand off
  • What simple systems actually look like, and why the right ones clear 95% of the noise that's keeping you in the weeds
  • How the new Snippets web app gives you a bird's eye view of your team without having to chase anyone down
