How to Overcome Control Issues and Delegate Effectively
"Nobody can do it better than me." That one thought keeps more businesses running flat than any market condition ever could. This episode is for every entrepreneur who is wearing all the hats and running out of hands.
Bonnie Schutz is the founder and CEO of Tandem Resource Solutions, a boutique, U.S.-based administrative recruiting and remote support agency, and the host of the Delegate2Elevate: Get Sh!t Done podcast. With nearly four decades in the administrative world, including 27 years in corporate roles supporting C-level leaders, she has seen delegation from both sides of the desk. She joins Amanda Kaufman to talk about overcoming control issues and delegating effectively, before the wheels start wobbling off the bus.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Why control, not capability, is the real reason most founders cannot let go
- Bonnie's "dip your toes in" approach, and why bookkeeping is the most common first delegation
- How to choose between a solopreneur, a boutique agency, and a large firm for your season of business
- The questions to ask your network and a provider before any money changes hands
- Why project-based, try-before-you-buy support is the low-risk way to make a first hire
- How to put the kibosh on imposter syndrome and reframe delegation as creating opportunity for others
