They have their own opinions expressed by business partners.
I don’t like to be particularly weak. This is not a good thing you often see in high -performing leaders, and that makes me feel like I’m leaving people down and looking weak at the same time. But this is the thing I am currently working on – trying to change my mindset about weakness as a power rather than a loss.
Why? Because I have learned that the door opens more than being in danger. It’s soft, it is relevant, it makes me more human and less robotic, which also reduces the poisonous boss web employers (well, I can sometimes leave).
Since I am going on this path toward allowing myself to be more weak, I have discovered that the two personality features, especially the characteristics of the personality, have helped prevent this path: I need to overcome my utmost and my need.
Now, I will admit that these two attributes have played a great role in the success of My prire firmBut now I realize that they have been the key ingredients in a leading way, which has led some members of my team to realize corruption. It is quite opposed to which I am going.

To replace corruption with empowerment
Yes, I am not familiar with the control trends that I thought is responsible for the constant growth of my company in the last 15 years, actually limiting development and stabilizing my staff’s creativity. To reach this feeling, I had a lot of difficult conversations with many people, but once I did this, I knew I had to do something to resolve the situation. Because when people feel that their wings are being clipped in their roles, they will fly.
If I want to measure my business with the changing landscape of public relations, I need to share some control of my company with other handy hands and in this process, share the win and replace me with “me” with “mentality”. Most of all, I need to build confidence in my team’s amazing skills and insights. I have taken the steps I have taken-I am still in the middle of taking-I have allowed me to expand my vision as a business and become a better, more visible and more ground leader.
Here are three ways to build confidence in your team.
1. Get the services of incredible people
When I first went out, I put every one else who liked me. I am standing in line in a bakery, going to talk to an excellent person, and suddenly I was asking if she wants to write my pitches. At a craft store producing my daughter’s latest certificate, I will meet a clerk that shared her love for photography. Before I knew it, I was offering him a fiancée in my next scheduled photo shoot.
There may have been a lot of good intentions in this perspective and may have created a lot of goodwill, but he eventually translated me to work with people who did not have enough experience to meet the job needs. There is no need to say that it did not cause freedom from both sides, so I need to re -consider my rental model.
Nowadays, I look for extraordinary skills from going. You do not need years for years of HEASLS for the years of your staff – I am a great supporter to give early opportunities and nurture growing abilities – but I have to look at the great drive of great ability and feeling.
With my background in a crisis for well-known personalities, I think my staff as “A-Listers”. Each of them currently shines in the field of skill under my job and takes the lead in their field. Because of this, I feel comfortable in handing them over to the tasks that I insisted on doing myself.

2. Step away from inbox and zoom screen
So long ago, I had thousands of emails in my inbox every day. I’m not exaggerating: Thousands. The reason for this is that I had the CCCC on everything members of my staff. I’m not exaggerating: EachThing
Over time, it was not just irregular. It became clear that it was unnecessary. Do I really need to ask a client whether they prefer to use or not use their middle early use? I am more than a total volume of words every day (and every night and every weekend), an internal evaluation of the company revealed to me that my staff really didn’t like my “CC policy” at all. They spied, checked and, of course. , Completely non -confidence.
For both practical and people -driven reasons, I ended my period as CC Queen, and everyone is happy for it. Not only was myself involved in all the written exchanges, inviting everyone to the exchange to follow me with questions and get my direct approval before making the next little move, but it is their decision -making ability, their own belief and desire to go beyond and beyond it.
I no longer see every email that goes to my client, and I no longer demand to be on client zoom calls. – Let: My business is not separated, we are still standing stronger than ever, no one needs to monitor 24 hours in the first place.
3. Bring to any project manager
Well, so I know you will spend some money on this move, but it will be worth every money. Why is it here: When you are free from all the great acts of your business-when you do not build agendas, settled database, answer HR questions, take off requests for time, booking travel arrangements, restoring soap and toilet paper-what? You are really free to focus on the future of your business.
You can pursue new customers, develop new products or services, and dream of new dreams. And here’s the best part: This person doesn’t have to be an expert in your field! If you make gutter guards, this person does not need to support home improvement. If you are a restoration, this person does not need to be graduated from a Pak school. All this needs to be done and it needs to be very well. They are management, organized, keep things rolling and keep things on track.
I call my project manager the “Pre -God Mother” of my business because what I do on it flies with an aerial scenario and waves his magic wand where it is a victim of potential troubles. Its role is to unlock the stop pages in the workflow, pushing team members to fulfill their deadline and put us all accountable for their responsibilities.
This person does not need to stay on the site. They can definitely work from afar, like my project manager. But after adding this position to my staff, my compulsion has been reduced Micro managementWhich was the biggest symbol of my closing control frequency.

Conclusion
I guess most of what is the word “delegation”. If you are a very busy business owner like me, with many other responsibilities and activities beyond work, I seriously suspect that your business can develop and your team can grow without learning to learn the assignment. You have to try it for size. You have to experience it with its flexibility. You have to decide what you do and don’t want to withdraw.
But never waste the power of the delegation. When you let go and only let your staff do the job you have hired them, you will be surprised at their results. They will still look at you for leadership and guidance, but they will not slam on the brake and wait for you to wait for you to give you a green light at every turn.
You don’t have to do this out of the gate and you don’t need to do it all together, but when you give your grip on daily details and entrust your professional professionals for a full professional work, I promise you, you won’t fall. Instead, you will all catch each other.
