"It's faster if I just do it myself."
I told myself that for two years. And it was true, every single day. But that belief kept me the bottleneck the whole time.
When I finally hired help, my business got SLOWER, not faster. My team was there, but everything still ran through me. Here's why...I handed off the tasks but kept every decision.
The Real Problem:
I was delegating execution while centralizing discernment. My team would come to me for every call, every decision, every "what should we do?" And I'd answer every single time. I became a manager with extra steps, not a leader with a team.
That's not delegation. That's hiring someone to do half the work while you still do all the thinking.
What Changed:
I stopped handing off tasks. I started teaching my team how to think. Instead of "do this," I asked "here's the decision to make—what would you do?" I required them to bring two solutions instead of one problem. I told them exactly which decisions belonged to me (discernment, direction, big pivots) and which belonged to them (execution, implementation, day-to-day choices).
My business didn't get faster because I hired help. It got faster because I stopped being the answer to every question.
The Framework:
This is exactly what I teach in the ROAD Method and the practice of "Two Solutions, Not One Problem." You can hire the best team in the world, but if you're still the bottleneck for decisions, you're just paying someone to wait for you.
A team that can't decide without you isn't delegation. It's you, with extra steps.
