In this episode, I had a conversation with Jerry Roberts about the importance of delegating and seeking advice as leaders. As leaders, it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking we have to make every decision ourselves. But what if we asked ourselves a simple question: "If I were unavailable and you had to make a decision, what would you do?" What I discovered was eye-opening. Over 80 percent of the time, the people closest to me had the answer I was looking for or even a better answer than what I would have come up with. It's humbling to realize that our team members have valuable insights and perspectives that we may overlook. But here's the thing, when we're faced with a new challenge or transitioning into a higher role, it's natural to feel a sense of uncertainty. We may question our competency, expertise, or knowledge. We don't want to become irrelevant in our leadership. That's the big unspoken secret. That's why it's crucial to embrace the power of delegating and seeking advice. By involving others and valuing their input, we not only empower our team but also enhance our own leadership effectiveness. If you've ever struggled with decision-making or felt unsure about your abilities as a leader, this episode is a must-listen. Join me as Jerry and I dive deeper into the topic and share practical strategies for leveraging the collective wisdom of those around us. #leadership #executive #management #growthmindset #empowerment #teamwork #businessleadership #professionaldevelopment #podcastepisode
