Description

Running a social enterprise means wearing all the hats. Until you can’t anymore. That’s when delegation becomes essential.

 

In this episode, I explore:

 

- Why you can’t (and shouldn’t) do everything yourself as a social entrepreneur

- The role of Tasha, our Integrator — from bid writing and data to board comms and big decisions

 - The role of Rich, our Operations Lead — from leading the boxing team to mentoring young coaches and even interviewing new staff

- How frameworks like 'Traction' (Gino Wickman) and the 'Greiner Growth Model' help make sense of growth stages

- The opportunities and challenges of moving into the Delegation Phase

This is the reality of growth: scary, messy, but full of possibility. If you’re running a social enterprise and feeling stretched too thin, this episode is for you.
