How to Delegate Without Losing Control

If your business can't function without you, you don't have a business, you have a job.

And I know that one might sting a little as it does for me.

As CEOs, especially women who built our businesses from the ground up, we often tell ourselves:

"I can do it faster."

"They won't do it as well as I will."

"It's just easier if I do it myself."

I've said all of those things.

But eventually, doing everything yourself stops being dedication and starts becoming the thing that keeps your business from growing.

In this week's episode of Do It My Way, I'm talking about how to delegate without losing control, and why delegation isn't about giving up control. It's about giving up the need to control every detail.

I'm sharing:

• The 80% rule every CEO needs to understand

• What you should delegate immediately—and what you should never delegate

• Why you should delegate the outcome, not just the task

• How micromanagement can actually be a trust issue

• What to do when someone on your team screws up

• And the question every CEO should ask herself this week: "What am I doing that someone else could be doing?"

Because your goal isn't to build a business where everyone does everything your way.

Your goal is to build a business that works without you having to control everything.
