There’s one employee at your company who could take real weight off your shoulders, and you already know who they are. So why are you still handing them more of your to-do list? Piling on tasks isn’t development. It’s delegation with training wheels.


In this episode you’ll learn the five moves that turn your best employee into a real leader in a single quarter: pick the one, hand them a domain instead of chores, put them in the pressure without rescuing them, give them a decision that can cost you something, and step out of the doorway for good!
