These are short sharp episodes where Paula Maidens draws on her client coaching calls each week to share a key lesson, learning or tip in a way that is quick and easy for you to digest.

Client Lesson Summary 

In this client lesson, Paula talks about delegating leadership and how it is important as your business grows, and requires clear communication and specific expectations. When empowering someone else to lead, it's crucial to ensure they operate in the same way and have the necessary skills. Without proper development and guidance, performance can suffer. 

As your team grows, it's important to think about how the new leaders will manage and set expectations. Assumptions should be avoided, and specific conversations about management style and feedback should take place. Coaching and external support may be necessary to develop new leaders.
