It’s crucial for both effective delegation and understanding our personal development in skills and tasks.

This episode aims to guide you through recognizing your learning phase, whether it’s identifying the unknowns in your skills or reaching a point where you can mentor others. We're discussing a framework to enhance how we learn, teach, and lead.
