3 Delegation Mistakes Keeping You From Exec Leadership (And How to Fix Them Today)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Delegation isn't a productivity hack. It's the difference between being seen as a great executor and being seen as a leader. In this episode, I break down the three lies keeping you stuck as a doer and how to shift your mindset today. Join my live workshop at morewomenpromoted.com/delegate to put this into practice.
If you're still doing too much at work—even though you have a team—this episode is for you.
I walk through the three lies high-performing women tell themselves about delegation, why these beliefs keep you indispensable but not promotable, and how to reframe delegation as leadership development (not dumping work). You'll also hear why men delegate more than women despite equal intentions, and what research tells us about the guilt and conditioning that holds us back.
What You'll Learn
- The three lies you're telling yourself about delegation (and why they're keeping you stuck as a doer)
- Why "it's faster if I just do it myself" is costing you your next promotion
- How to stop assuming your team won't like tasks you don't like—and why that's holding them back too
- The difference between being indispensable and being promotable
- Why senior leaders are judged on decisions and team performance, not execution
