Louis Massaro says entrepreneurs' fear and insecurity come from losing control of their business. He argues that designing clear roles, processes, and metrics lets leaders step back confidently while the team runs things independently, which makes the leader stronger and more strategic.
All the fear, uncertainty, and insecurity that you feel in your business is because of your lack of control of what's going on. When you go back in and you get that control again, you got your hands on it, right? You put your— you've got your hands on the steering wheel, like you've got it. And then you like design it in a way with your current level of knowledge, experience, and ability to implement. Right? And, and with this information, and then you step away, you're stepping away knowing that person has a, a role description. They've got, uh, processes to do what they need to do. I have ways to, for checks and balances to know what's going on. I've got time set up to meet with them to make sure that we're, you know, our agenda's where it needs to be and we're moving things along. I know my numbers and metrics and all that. You're a different person. You know what I mean? You come out of it stronger.
