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!

(11:26) How I allowed myself to be managed
