That Big CEO Energy

139 | Delegation Systems That Remove You as the Bottleneck

Kallai Plummer Season 4 Episode 139

If you're feeling like everything in your business depends on you, you're not alone—and you're not failing. I’ve been the bottleneck in my own business more times than I’d like to admit, and the truth is, it’s humbling. But realizing you’ve outgrown your old way of working isn’t a sign of failure. It’s a sign of growth.

In this episode, I’m talking about the final (and maybe most freeing) system in our series—delegation. We’ll walk through how to identify what only you can do, how to document your repeatables, and what you can systematize or hand off to someone else. You’ll learn the low-stakes tasks to outsource first, how to build simple SOPs using tools you already have, and how to protect your energy by stepping fully into your CEO role.

If you're tired of being the hold-up in your own growth, this episode is your permission slip to start leading instead of just doing.


In This Episode, I Talk About

  • What it really means to be the bottleneck in your own business—and how to shift out of it
  • The 3-step delegation framework: Decide, Document, and Delegate
  • The first systems you can build or outsource this week to free up your time and energy
