    Stop Micromanaging: How to Empower Your Team and Grow Your Business

    Learn how to shift from control to empowerment so your business — and your team — can grow without burning you out. Description Micromanagement may feel like the fastest way to get results, but it’s actually the biggest bottleneck in your business. In this episode of Engineer Your Success, Dr. James Bryant sits down with Cary Prejean — a CPA and strategic business advisor with 40 years of experience — to explore why entrepreneurs often sabotage their own growth and how to break free. You’ll discover: Why the skills that launch a business often stall it later How to spot when you’ve become the bottleneck The difference between specifying outcomes vs. micromanaging details Why empowering employees to design processes leads to real ownership How trust, curiosity, and vulnerability build stronger leaders and healthier teams Practical ways to use KPIs and dashboards to stay in control without hovering If you’re tired of feeling like everything depends on you, this conversation will show you how to create systems, empower your team, and scale your business — without losing your sanity. 🔑 Key Takeaways Micromanagement is a bottleneck, not a strategy. Entrepreneurial traits that spark growth don’t always translate into leadership. Empower your team to design processes — they’ll own the results. Focus on specifying outcomes, not every detail. Trust and vulnerability are leadership strengths, not weaknesses. What gets measured improves: use KPIs and dashboards wisely. 🕒 Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Intro & EYS Insiders Ad 01:00 – Why entrepreneurial skills can hurt you as a manager 04:00 – When entrepreneurs become the bottleneck 07:00 – Micromanagement in action: the fence & muffin stories 10:00 – How to empower your team to own processes 12:30 – Seeing the bigger picture with KPIs and dashboards 14:30 – Cary’s biggest leadership lesson: learning to listen 16:00 – Practical steps to move from “my way” to empowering leadership 20:00 – Dr. James Bryant on the secret to his success: partnership with God 🔗 Resources & Links Connect with Cary Prejean: Strategic Business Advisors | LinkedIn Get free PDF downloads of Cary’s first two books on his website Learn more about Engineer Your Success coaching and resources: engineeryoursuccessnow.com 🎧 Join Engineer Your Success Insiders: engineeryoursuccessnow.com/insiders

    Why AI Can’t Replace What Matters Most at Work

    AI in the workplace is advancing faster than most of us can keep up with—but there’s one thing it will never replace: human connection and leadership. In this episode of Engineer Your Success, Dr. James Bryant sits down with Kenneth Correa, a marketing strategist and emerging tech expert from Brazil. Kenneth has spent over 15 years tracking technologies from blockchain and the metaverse to today’s AI agents. He’s also the author of Cognitive Organizations, a book written entirely with the help of AI agents. Through real-world stories, Kenneth explores the future of work, AI and leadership, and how to use AI productivity tools without losing what matters most—empathy, trust, and human connection at work. From training 7,000 factory workers safely in the metaverse to a failed experiment where a Swiss bank replaced managers with an AI “boss,” you’ll hear both the promise and the pitfalls of AI. If you’re wondering how to leverage AI to free up your time, boost productivity, and strengthen—not replace—the relationships that drive success at work, this conversation is for you. 🔑 What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why AI hype cycles repeat—and how to tell what’s valuable vs. noise A practical case study: how VR training reduced workplace accidents in a major factory project Why replacing managers with an AI boss backfired—and what it teaches us about leadership and empathy How Kenneth uses AI agents in his business to create time for what matters most Three simple steps to start using AI without losing your humanity 📌 Resources & Links Connect with Kenneth Correa on LinkedIn Learn more about Kenneth’s book: Cognitive Organizations Join Engineer Your Success Insiders — a private podcast with weekly coaching insights: engineeryoursuccessnow.com/insiders 🔧 About Engineer Your Success Engineer Your Success equips technical professionals and business owners to become confident, purpose-driven leaders who thrive at work and at home.
