This is a YouTube video titled "As a CEO, Step Up and Own It in Business" featuring Allison Maslan speaking about common challenges CEOs and founders face with micromanagement and how to empower their teams to grow and scale their businesses effectively. The content is a motivational and instructional talk aimed at business leaders, recorded in May 2022.
So when my team and I work with CEOs and founders to help them grow and scale their business using the scale it method, one of the biggest complaints I hear from business owners is I have no life. I'm working night and day. And even though they have a team and so when we peel back the curtain and see what's really going on is that they are micromanaging every area of their business, they still have their hands in there, even though they have other people that can do the work. Here's the thing. Just because you can do something or you've always done something, doesn't mean you should continue to do it. That saying, what got you here won't get you there really applies here. And if you're constantly jumping in and saving the day when with your team members or you're showing them how to do it over and over again, where are they gonna get the impetus to figure it out on their own or just own it and have the feeling that you truly trust them? This is how they're gonna learn. This is how they're going to feel like they can show you what they're capable of. So the next time that you get that urge to jump in and and redo things exactly the way that you would do it, just take a breath and let your team members shine. This is how they're going to step up and own it and run with it, and this is how you are going to get your life back.
