Why Good Leaders Learn to Delegate | A Conversation with Wade Johannes & Amanda Sollman

Delegation is hard. It can feel like you’re losing control over what and how things get done. Many times, instead of facing that uncertainty, we hoard projects and tasks because “it’s just easier if I do it myself.”

But that’s no way to lead.

In this episode, Wade Johannes joins Amanda to talk about delegation – why we don’t do it (and why we should), how to know what to hand off, and how to give directions that increase the chances of success. Their conversation includes:

Some signs you may not be delegating well
Why the success of any leader depends on their ability to delegate to and coach up their team
Tools to decide what should and shouldn’t be delegated
How to set clear expectations when a project is delegated
…and more!

Don’t let your fear of letting things go hold you (and your team) back. Apply these tips to see just how much you can grow.
