Why Delegation Keeps Going Wrong — and How to Fix It

June 10, 20251 min read

You know you need to delegate more — but every time you try, it either goes wrong, bounces back to you, or ends in frustration.

You’re not the only one. And it’s not because you’re lazy, or bad at leadership.

It’s because no one ever showed you how to do it properly.

In this week’s Great Boss Weekly, I share the exact step-by-step system I use with practice owners to make delegation stick — without the stress.

Here’s a quick taste of what we cover:

  • Why so many delegation attempts boomerang back (and what to do instead)

  • How to build an org chart that shows you exactly where your bottlenecks are

  • The one task you should delegate this week — and how to do it right

  • What leadership rhythm looks like in the real world, from junior admin to senior practice manager

If you’re overwhelmed, stuck, or just ready to lead better — this is for you.

Because dumping tasks isn’t leadership.

But building trust, systems, and clarity? That’s where real leadership starts.
