Takeaways

Autonomy and ownership of responsibility over everyone’s realm is one thing that a lot of c-suite executives are missing out on.
C-suite professionals need to stop delegating completely. It can create a moment of peace but it still is your project and you own the responsibility of it.
Take a close look at the things on your plate, and think about how much time you spend on them and which you enjoy doing.
If you don’t have a good communication level, it leads people to have to assume what should be done which creates a jam in the workflow.
When you do offboarding right, it creates trust and that can help a company run smoother.
To be a good leader, you need to be self aware and be empathetic. Those are key features for many good leaders in an organization.
It’s hard for leaders to tell someone they did something wrong, so approach it by asking what their thought process was when they made the wrong decision.

Quote of the Show:

1:51 I strongly believe that we need to stop delegating completely. Because delegating is typically taking something that's on your plate, usually in a situation where you're already overwhelmed and picking something that you can give to somebody else, but you still own the responsibility.”
