How to Delegate Without Micromanaging

About this episode

Brett shares his struggles with delegation while Joe provides a framework to avoid micromanagement.

Most leaders think delegation is about telling people what to do. But what if the real bottleneck isn't your team's capacity but your relationship with control, perfectionism, and hard conversations? In this episode, Brett shares his own struggle with delegation across multiple growing businesses, and Joe offers a framework for moving from vision to execution without falling into the traps of micromanagement or hands-off abandonment.
