(#15) In this episode, Jena explores the hidden struggles behind why leaders resist delegation—even when they know it’s necessary. Drawing from her own leadership journey and insights from a recent workshop, Jena dives deep into the identity challenges, fears, and mindset shifts that keep leaders stuck doing tasks they’ve outgrown. She unpacks common barriers like perfectionism, fear of failure, and guilt, and shares a practical “delegation recipe” for letting go with trust and clarity. Whether you’re leading a large team or a team of one, this episode offers empowering tools to help leaders shift from doers to coaches, build stronger teams, and reclaim their highest-level work. Perfect for anyone ready to loosen their grip and multiply their impact.
