Hey, founders and solopreneurs! Emmanuel here, founder of Square 1 Group. Today, we’re talking about two important things leaders do – sharing tasks and having faith in your team. If it’s tough for you to let go of control or if you find it tricky to trust your team, don’t worry – many people feel the same. Let’s get rid of these ideas that hold us back and discover a cool plan that will help you become the leader your business really needs.
First off, let’s address the big issues holding back countless entrepreneurs – the inability to delegate, trust issues, and the peril of micromanagement. Trying to do it all alone is not just inefficient; it’s unsustainable. If you can’t trust your team, you’re limiting your business’s potential. Micromanagement stifles creativity, eats into your time, and, left unaddressed, leads to burnout and missed opportunities.

Now, let’s talk solutions. The framework I’m about to share, inspired by Dan Martell, is a game-changer. Ready?
Use a time tracking app to log tasks and assign an hourly rate. Tasks with the lowest hourly rate are your delegation priorities, minimizing risk.
Match tasks to skills and strengths. If you’re building your team, hire specialists based on the task, not a one-size-fits-all assistant.
When delegating, clarity is king. Clearly define expectations and outcomes. Ensure there’s a crystal-clear definition of done.
Empower your team with the right resources – whether it’s Slack, Asana, Monday, or Gmail. Don’t just delegate; empower.
Give constructive feedback and show trust in your team’s capabilities. Mistakes will happen – it’s part of the process.
This framework isn’t just about offloading work; it’s about building a team that lets you work on your business, not just in it.
Now, let’s tackle trust-building. It’s a process, and transparency is the first step. Be open about goals, challenges, and expectations. Involve your team in decision-making; ask for their input. Consistent follow-up through check-ins builds rapport and shows support. Recognize and celebrate wins to reinforce positive behavior. When you’re ready, provide autonomy – resist micromanaging and respect the process.
Remember that game-changing tip I promised? Here it is: Combine technology with a personal touch.
Step 1: Use Project Management Tools
Leverage tools like Asana, Trello, or Monday to streamline tasks, set up schedules, and monitor progress.
Step 2: Create Loom Videos
Now, here’s where the magic happens. Create a Loom video for each task you delegate. Walk through instructions, show a clear definition of done, and let them hear your guidance. This eliminates guesswork and provides a reference for clarity and support.
