As a business owner, you're a rock star. You are a master of your trade, and provide your clients with the best experience they can have. But what about all those other areas of business? Are you the best HR director? Marketing Specialist? Are you a master of developing systems and processes to maximize operational efficiency? More than likely, you're unequipped in at least one of these areas.

 

That's why you have a manager on your team. But too often, business owners fail to let their managers manage them. In this episode, I discuss some of the reasons business owners struggle to let go and let their managers also manage them. I also explore the benefits of working with your management team, and offer steps to take to relinquish control for the sake of your business!
