How to Build a Team That Performs Without You: 16 Real Questions

Episode notes

We asked 800 leaders one question. What's actually hard about leadership right now? The answers were so good we decided to answer them live. No prep. No script. Em fires the questions, and I get two minutes on each. These are real questions from real leaders in our free Skool community, the No Bullsh!t Leadership Hub ( 16 questions, 16 answers. And every one of them comes back to the same thing: whether your team can perform without you. If your team faced a major challenge today and you weren't available, would they solve it? If the answer is "no", the issue might not be their capability. It might be your lack of leadership. Every time you step in, you rob them of a rep they needed. In this episode: 1. Are we building resilient teams, or creating dependence by stepping in too quickly? 2. I've gone from leading 14 people to 70. How do I let go of work I think I need to control? 3. Doing the task myself tells me if the workload griping is fair. Or am I rationalising dipping down? 4. My utilisation target is 92%. How do I defend leadership time in a billable hours culture? 5. Even when I'm on leave, I clear emails out of guilt. How do you actually switch off? 6.
