If you can’t help but approve every email, tweak every slide deck, or give the final nod before anything ships, this episode is your wake‑up call. Kelli reveals why “being across every detail” isn’t leadership—it’s an expensive control habit that quietly stalls growth, erodes team initiative, and keeps you shackled to the day‑to‑day.
The Hidden Cost of Overmanagement
Why your safety‑net tendencies bleed time, talent, and margin—while convincing you you’re being “responsible.”
System vs. Supervision
How to replace reactive quality control with proactive structure so excellence happens without your constant inspection.
“Done Right” Frameworks
Craft micro‑definitions of success for content, client delivery, and tech—eliminating 80 % of final‑round fixes.
From Approval Chains to Decision Matrices
Map decision rights that move work forward faster and turn your team from permission‑seekers into confident owners.
Building Thinking Into Your Team
Train judgment, not just task completion, so you scale leadership— not bottlenecks.
Redesigning Your Involvement—Intentionally
A step‑by‑step exercise to remove yourself from low‑leverage checkpoints (without quality slipping).
Q: “How do I get my team to own results without me chasing them?”
A: Kelli walks through creating a documented onboarding workflow, shifting responsibility from tasks to outcomes, and installing a weekly pulse that turns follow‑ups into forward momentum.
Audit one place where you’re still the final checkpoint. Write a crystal‑clear definition of success, build (or assign) the supporting checklist, then hand it off. Trust the system, not proximity.
Share it with the leader who’s “too indispensable,” leave a review on wherever you listen to podcasts, or email Kelli on to share your biggest insight at [email protected]. Let’s ditch burnout‑by‑control and build businesses that run elegantly—without us hovering.
