A manager pushes back on an owner's reluctance to delegate, arguing that pride and control issues are holding the business back. When the owner underestimates how long tasks take, a one-hour job balloons to four hours, but he won't let anyone else try.
I really want to maintain control out of fear of like, just my pride of like, oh, I'm a business owner, so I want to have my hands on all these different plates. Haven't given control.
Okay.
Continue. Yeah, come on. No, it's valid. I mean, I mean, I get it, you know, I mean, you, you don't want to, you want to feel like your ways the right way all the time. But.
I think there's certain things, you know, where you do something better than I do, and I may do something better than you do, but taking in second opinion is a really big thing that helps. Like we talked about time frame on things. It may end up being half day, like how you said sometimes, but then it ended up being a full day of work. And it's just. Cause we see it differently.
Cause I'll show up to a job site and be like, oh, it's gonna take an hour. And then it's like a four hour job, you know.
Cause I'm like, we're gonna get it done so fast.
