323: How to Delegate without Micromanaging with Dr. Sabrina and Melissa Kay

Delegating tasks is a struggle for most business owners, and it’s a challenge that quickly becomes an obstacle in the battle for a “work supports life” mindset. We touched on this topic as we ended our last episode, and we knew it deserved more time, attention, and deeper discussion. Join Melissa Kay, Lead Strategist at Tap the Potential, and Dr. Sabrina Starling, fresh off her recent TEDx talk, as they dive into this topic with practical insights.

Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production.

Show Highlights:

• Delegating tasks effectively is THE key piece to having a 25-hour work week.
• Examples of $10,000 an hour activities for business owners (Are you spending time on your highest-value activities?)
• Cultivating trust among your team members (Assume they are whole, competent, capable, and complete human beings.)
• Hiring A-players whose values align with your company’s immutable laws and giving them decision-making parameters
• Handling A-players with gentle reminders about their expected key results
• Melissa’s perspective of the “messy middle” of the delegating process
• The importance of a good project management tool and clear communication with team members
• Being crystal clear about key results for each team member is essential!
• Consistency is the key in team meetings and one-to-one meetings. 
• Dr. Sabrina’s best tips for effective one-to-one meetings with team members (Deliver 7 positive pieces of communication for every piece of critical feedback, watch your body language, settle yourself, and be fully present.)
