Episode notes

When your team needs you to answer every question, clarify every detail, or make every decision, delegation may not be the real problem. The problem may be that too much of the business still lives in your head. In this episode, we look at how owner dependency and information bottlenecks show up in an established business, why they keep your team waiting on you, and how to tell the difference between work that truly needs your expertise and information your team simply needs access to. If you’re wondering why your team still depends on you so much or why stepping away from the day-to-day feels harder than it should, this episode will help you see where the bottleneck really is. Episode Timeline 1:04 - “Everything lives in my head.” Why this familiar phrase can point to a much bigger owner dependency problem. 2:47 - The smaller version of “Lost Your Head Syndrome” that shows up every time your team has to stop and wait for you. 3:46 - “We’ve got to break the chain.” The client conversation that revealed how deeply the business depended on one person. 4:48 - What I noticed while watching a capable team repeatedly search for the owner.
