“If I want it done right, I gotta do it myself."

That thought didn’t start in business — for many CEOs, it started at home.

In this episode of Many Brains of the CEO, Simone explores where this belief comes from, why it follows so many founders into leadership, and how it quietly fuels burnout, micromanagement, and stalled growth.

Through personal reflection and real client patterns, this episode unpacks:

• why control often feels safer than clarity
• how poor delegation is usually a leadership design issue — not a people issue
• the difference between managing output and managing outcomes
• how to release control without letting things fall apart
  

If you’re carrying too much, managing everything, or feeling like no one can do things the way you do — this episode will help you understand why, and what to shift next.
