Why 90% of CEOs Fail at Delegation—and How Crushing This One Skill Can 10X Your Business Overnight
The day I delegated my inbox
For years, I handled every email myself. After back-to-back consulting sessions, I’d get home and face hundreds of unread messages. I was overwhelmed. So I made a decision that changed everything: I gave my assistant full access to my inbox.
Not partial access. Not just scheduling emails. I handed over six email accounts, gave her the green light to answer on my behalf and walked away.
People told me I was crazy. “How can someone else answer your emails?” they said.
But here’s the truth: it was crazier to go two weeks without replying to a client than to have someone I trust to handle it. In 15 years, she’s probably made 10 serious mistakes—but she’s sent over 30,000 solid responses. The cost of holding on was far greater than the cost of letting go.
