Doing everything yourself can hold your team back.
Build a high performing team by giving others room to grow.
Episode 89 of The Wisdom of Wrench Podcast is a leadership compilation with host Kevin Comerford and co-hosts Amanda Meyer and Ray Dias. Learn how to delegate work, own your mistakes, give honest feedback, and listen so your people can solve problems. These home services stories show why trust, clear goals, and a sense of purpose matter more than having every answer. Give your team room to take ownership of their work, and save your time for the decisions that move the business forward.
