Level 10 Leaders

Delegation is one of the biggest friction points for founders and leaders. In this Power Tip, Linda van Egmond explains why delegation often fails and why that failure is rarely about people or motivation. It’s a structure problem. When everything stops without you, you don’t have a business. You have an expensive job.

Linda reframes delegation as a staged process, not a handover. Define success. Model the work. Coach with a safety net. Move to partial ownership. Then fully let go. Yes, it takes longer upfront, but it compounds fast. If delegation doesn’t feel like micromanagement at first, you’re skipping steps.
