A founder explains why delegation is non-negotiable for growth. He outsourced accounting to focus on higher-value work, then hired a team and gave them real responsibility. The right people find efficiencies and opportunities a solo founder never would.
As you stop thinking small, you also have to cast off your fear of delegation. Just as it was necessary for me to hand off some accounting functions to an outside professional so I could focus on higher-value activities, it is also necessary to entrust a carefully hired internal team with more responsibilities so you can put your energy to towards strategic growth-oriented activities. The right people will not only find better ways to do a lot of things, they'll also identify all kinds of opportunities for efficiency, client value, and business development that you wouldn't think of on your own.
