Season 5 starts with the guest who started it all. Caroline Webb is back, tackling a question every overloaded leader needs to answer: what should you stop doing yourself?
Caroline joined Better at Work for our very first episode in 2022. Now she returns with Leadership Intelligence and a practical conversation about the shift from doing great work yourself to helping other people do theirs.
She and Cathal Quinlan explore what deserves a deliberate yes, what someone else could learn to do, and how to say no when something else matters more.
In this episode:
• Make time for the leadership work only you can do.
• Use Yes/Grow/No to decide what to keep, delegate and decline.
• Work through ACORN: Aim, Criteria, Options, Rating and Next steps.
• Give specific feedback without jumping to conclusions.
• Use Brag and Borrow to share progress and ask for help.
• Work through difficult stakeholder relationships and reset under pressure.
Caroline is a leadership coach, economist and author of How to Have a Good Day and Leadership Intelligence.
