I made this video because I see the same frustration play out again and again. Leaders think delegation doesn’t work for them, when in reality, it’s not the assistant that’s broken. It’s the approach.
If you’ve ever felt like handing things off creates more work instead of less, this is going to hit home. Because delegation isn’t just about getting things off your plate. It’s about doing it in a way that actually creates leverage, clarity, and freedom.
In this video, I walk through the 10 most common mistakes I see leaders make with their assistants and, more importantly, the simple fixes that change everything.
Some of these are small habits that don’t seem like a big deal, but they compound quickly. Skipping your weekly one-on-one. Giving vague instructions and hoping for the best. Becoming the bottleneck without realizing it. These are the kinds of things that quietly break trust, slow everything down, and keep you stuck doing more than you should.
I also share the shifts that unlock real momentum. What it looks like to clearly define success before handing something off. How to stop managing tasks and start delegating ownership. Why your inbox and calendar need structure if you actually want support to work. And how protecting your time isn’t optional if you want to operate at a high level.
One of the biggest takeaways here is this. Delegation isn’t a one-time decision. It’s a system. And like any system, it needs structure, communication, and regular refinement. The leaders who get this right aren’t magically better at delegation. They’ve just learned how to lead with support.
I also get into the less obvious mistakes that most people overlook. Relying too heavily on text instead of clear communication. Ignoring personal support when it could free up even more mental space. Repeating yourself instead of building systems that scale. These are the gaps that keep even high performers stuck in reactive mode.
When you start fixing these, everything changes. You get time back. You get clarity back. And you start operating like the leader your business actually needs.
Here’s a preview of what I break down in the video:
