In this episode, I break down how to delegate effectively using a clear quadrant-based decision matrix. Whether you’re leading a team of one or many, learning how to delegate the right way will help you scale faster, lead better, and stop being the bottleneck.

Listen in as I explain the four types of tasks you should evaluate, when to delegate them, and how to do it without sabotaging your results.

💡 The Delegation Matrix:

  • Unique & High-Value: These stay on your plate (e.g., personal content creation).
  • Unique & Low-Value: Delegate if they don’t drive big results—even if you’re good at them.
  • General & High-Value: Delegate with training and oversight (e.g., scheduling email marketing).
  • General & Low-Value: Always delegate (e.g., calendar tasks, admin work).

🚫 5 Delegation Mistakes to Avoid:

  • Skipping the “why”—explain the purpose of the task.
  • Neglecting training or setting clear standards.
  • Starting with high-value tasks too soon.
  • Failing to follow up with your team.
  • Being afraid to hold people accountable.

✅ 5 Delegation Must-Do’s:

  • Empower your team with autonomy and support.
  • Challenge them to learn and solve problems.
  • Give feedback AND praise—be specific and sincere.
  • Encourage self-critique to build a growth culture.
  • Provide a clear path for growth and long-term vision.

📌 Real Talk:

  • Delegation doesn’t mean dumping tasks you hate—it means building a team that runs without you.
  • If you want leverage in your business, you must master delegation.
  • It’s not easy—but it’s one of the highest ROI skills an entrepreneur can develop.
