You Haven't Delegated. You've Just Handed Off the Task. — with Brooke Dukes
About this episode
Brooke Dukes discusses the misconceptions of delegation among founders and how to overcome bottlenecks in business growth.
You Haven't Delegated. You've Just Handed Off the Task. — with Brooke Dukes Most founders think they've delegated. They haven't. They've handed off the task and kept the ownership, and that's why their growth has stalled. Brooke Dukes has built four businesses, consulted Fortune 500s for over two decades, and now runs Success by Design — a leadership operating system for founders who've become the bottleneck in their own company. She's also the author of Burn On Not Out and host of the podcast by the same name. In this conversation, Brooke and I get into why "my bandwidth is my company's ceiling" is the most uncomfortable sentence a founder can say out loud, the five-day exercise she gives every client to prove the bottleneck isn't their people, and the moment at 33 — on a corporate jet, in preterm labour, walking away from a six-figure bonus — that ended her Fortune 100 career. If you've ever told yourself "if I don't do it, it won't get done," this one's for you.
