In this segment, the speaker stresses that effective delegation starts with clearly communicating expectations for each team role. Recognizing that every individual has a unique skill set, she argues against the strategy of trying to improve weaknesses and instead advocates for assigning tasks to those who excel at them. Using a personal example, she explains that while she enjoys marketing, she is not proficient at design, so she lets a specialist handle design work while she focuses on marketing. She acknowledges that modest skill development (e.g., a 1% improvement) can be valuable, but warns that spending excessive time, effort, or money on areas where one is not strong is inefficient. The overall message is to build stronger teams by aligning responsibilities with strengths, setting clear expectations, and limiting unnecessary investment in weak areas.

Not verbally communicating what the expectations for the team are and, and for each role. You know, every role is different. So, and everyone has a skillset that's different and where people excel and other people don't, you need to, I don't believe in playing to your weaknesses. I just, I mean, like, why bother? I mean, if you are not good at something, let the person that's good at it do the thing, right? Why put so much effort and time and money into something that you're not good at? For example, I'm not necessarily the best person at designing things, even though I feel like I am. But I have been told over and over again, so now I let somebody else do that and then they design things for me. But I enjoy it even though it looks like crap. But, you know, from a marketing standpoint, right? I'm just saying. So I'm good at marketing. Yeah. So like, I'm good at marketing in different ways, but you know, to actually draw it and design it, yeah, I'm not good at that. So I let other people do it. And that's my point. You can't— playing to weaknesses is dumb. I mean, sure, people need to learn. From it, uh, or learn how to get a little bit better with it, of course, and be a little bit, you know, like that 1% better. But honestly, if you're really good at something, focus on what you're really good at. Stop wasting time and energy on the things you're not.
