  • Leading with Trust: How to Delegate for Real Impact with Dave Kerpen

    Leading with Trust: How to Delegate for Real Impact with Dave Kerpen
    May 22 2024

    Scaling an organization requires leaders to master delegating and leading with trust. However, despite the abundance of tools and techniques available, effective delegation remains an elusive skill for many. The root cause lies in deep-seated mindsets that hinder our ability to delegate successfully.


    Today’s guest, Dave Kerpen, draws from his entrepreneurial experiences and insights in his latest book to shed light on the necessary mindset shifts for overcoming the emotional barriers to effective delegation.



    Dave is a renowned serial entrepreneur, co-founder and co-CEO of Apprentice, global keynote speaker, and New York Times bestselling author. He identifies fear, distrust, the need for control, and the pursuit of perfection as the common obstacles to delegation. In addition, he recommends self-awareness, self-improvement, and courage to overcome deep-rooted fears and trust issues.

    If you are ready to level up your delegation skills and scale your business, this episode is for you. Tune in!




    “Delegation is a really big problem, and the problem isn't that people don't know the tools and systems. The problem is that we are stuck in our own heads, and we can't get over ourselves. Specifically, we are afraid, and we are distrustful"

    - Dave Kerpen.



    In This Episode:

    -Embracing self-awareness and self-improvement for growth

    -The strength in vulnerable leadership

    -The four mental obstacles to effective delegation
