I hired managers- why am I still in the details?

You finally hired managers… so why are you still stuck in every decision, every issue, every fire?

If you feel like promoting managers was supposed to free you up and somehow did the opposite, this episode breaks down exactly why that happens and how to fix it.

In this episode, we talk about:

• How leaders accidentally train managers to defer decisions
• The simple way to teach decision-making without more meetings
• What to do when managers do not actually want to manage
• The core skills every manager must learn to take pressure off you

This conversation is a must-listen if you want your managers to truly own their role and finally give you the breathing room you hired them for.
