In this short motivational video, Matt Dart challenges the common belief among founders that their teams aren't ready for more responsibility. He explains that the real issue is founders' reluctance to hand over outcomes, leading to micromanagement. By sharing his own experience with a team of 12 trainers, he illustrates how relinquishing control resulted in better performance and business growth, freeing him to focus on other areas. He concludes with a call to action, inviting viewers to comment "handover" to receive step‑by‑step instructions on delegating responsibility effectively.

Most founders think their team's not ready for more responsibility, but in reality, you just haven't handed them over any responsibility for them to try. I used to have a team of 12 trainers, and what actually happened was I continuously tried to control every outcome that they wanted. As soon as I let go of the outcome and gave them responsibility and control, they had better results and the business kept growing without me. Once you hand over the responsibility and the outcome, you can focus on other aspects of the business. If you want to know how to do this, comment the word handover and I'll give you step-by-step instructions on what to do.
