    How to Shift from Doer to Delegator

    Are you a new manager struggling to delegate? Let’s fix that! 🔥One of the biggest challenges first-time managers face is letting go of tasks they used to own. It’s tempting to believe: ✔️ “It’s faster if I just do it.” ✔️ “No one can do it as well as I can.” ✔️ “What if they get it wrong?” But here’s the hard truth: If you’re always doing, you’re not leading. Listen to this episode of the Aspire to GROW Podcast as I interview Theresa Bilicek, Leadership Development Coach and Trainer. The interview focuses on helping managers shift from doer to delegator—without losing control or quality. Hit play to listen to this very informative episode.
