How do I step back from the day to day?
Short answer
Move one job at a time from you to the business: write it down, hand it to a person, and set a scorecard so you can see it working without being in it.
What to know
- Start with the jobs you do most often, not the hardest ones.
- Set clear rules for who decides what, and up to what amount.
- Review a short weekly scorecard instead of every detail.
What to do next
- 1Name your number two, or plan to hire one.
- 2Hand off one job in the next 30 days.
- 3Set five weekly numbers your team owns.
