The big mistakes to avoid when delegating for the first time

About this episode

It can feel a little daunting when planning to delegate parts of your business to someone else for the first time. But there's some things you can do (and mistakes to avoid) to navigate this process more easily. In today's episode, I'm sharing 3 big mistakes that you can avoid when delegating for the first time.

- Why having clarity about the role you need is essential before you even start looking for someone to fill it.
- How hiring an "all-rounder" is different to hiring an "expert" and how to identify who you need and why you need them.
- The importance of training your "all-rounder" to set them up for success with templates and processes.
- How hiring for skills is different to hiring for personality and what's more important for the role you need them for.
- Why giving adequate instructions for process-driven tasks and great briefs for creative tasks are so important to set them up to do their best, without expecting them to read your mind.
