Have you fallen into the trap of being involved in every minor detail of your business? You have a great team, but you still find yourself checking content, reviewing graphics, writing small bits of copy, or managing your marketing in depth?

Trust me, I’ve been there (EVERY successful business owner has been there). But that level of micromanagement and involvement is NOT you just ‘being detail-oriented’ — it is causing a major bottleneck in your business.

In this episode of the HerBusiness Podcast, we have HerBusiness Member Kristy-Lee Billett of People Powered HR, a renowned expert on hiring and teams. She has years of experience helping small business owners streamline their operations and achieve remarkable growth.

Today, she’s helping us understand just how detrimental bottlenecks can be to business success and how to unclog the blockage.

  • Learn how Kristy-Lee made the decision to pivot from traditional revenue streams that were once the lifeline of her business, opting for a completely new model.
  • Understand the detrimental effects of micromanagement and learn the strategies to foster autonomy and high performance within your team, freeing you from the bottleneck of your business growth.
  • Avoid the all-too-common leadership traps that business owners fall into, and how to find the power of clear communication and the courage to delegate effectively.
  • Unlock the powerful potential that your team has to level-up your business… and how YOU can get out of their way.
