If It’s Not Systemized, It’s Not Delegatable
In this episode of The Delegation Shift, hosts Ashley Carlson and Nichole Hughes from Elevate Virtual Business Solutions break down one of the most essential truths in business operations: if it’s not systemized, it’s not delegatable.
Ashley and Nichole explore how systems serve as the backbone of effective delegation, preventing confusion, rework, and bottlenecks. They discuss the importance of documenting processes, breaking down multi-step tasks, and using tools like screen recordings to create clear, teachable workflows.
The conversation highlights what leaders should systematize first, how team members can help refine processes, and why “done is better than perfect” when building the foundation of your operations.
Listeners will walk away with practical steps for creating scalable systems and with the mindset shift needed to recognize systemization as a true leadership skill.
