341: 7 Delegation Mistakes Small Business Owners Make | Successful Delegation Miniseries

Описание: In this episode of Small Business Big Visibility, we dive into the most common delegation mistakes that keep small business owners stuck and overwhelmed. Whether you are just starting to delegate or have been doing it for years, these pitfalls can quietly derail your team, your time, and your customer experience.

You will see why handing out impressive titles instead of clear responsibilities creates confusion, pride, and resistance when things fall outside the “job title.” We break down how vague expectations, missing procedures, and lack of training cause employees to guess their way through important tasks, leading to results that do not match your standards or your brand.

You will also learn the importance of defining when an employee should solve a problem on their own, when they should come to you, and how to build simple backup procedures for when things do not go as planned. Finally, we walk through how to check in on delegated work the right way by talking with the employee, reviewing the actual work, and, when appropriate, verifying the experience with the customer.

Watch this video to avoid these seven delegation mistakes, strengthen your team, and set yourself up for smoother, more successful handoffs in your small business.
