Description

You're paying your team well—so why are you still doing their work? If you've ever found yourself finishing tasks your employees should have handled, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Fix My Business, Carlos asks a question every business owner has faced: "I'm paying my team very good, but I'm still doing tasks they should have handled. How do I address this without becoming the bottleneck or turning into a micromanager?" Sound familiar? Scott Todd breaks down exactly why employees don't get work done and gives you a proven four-step framework to fix it without losing your mind or your weekend.


In This Episode:

  • The only 3 reasons employees don't complete their work (competency, resources, or motivation)
  • How to diagnose which problem you're actually facing with each task
  • The exact conversation script to use when addressing underperformance with your team
  • Why doing their work for them teaches them the wrong lesson—and what to do instead
  • A four-step action plan to stop being the safety net and start leading effectively

Stop picking up the paintbrush and painting the house you hired someone else to paint. This is your roadmap to getting your time back and building a team that actually owns their responsibilities.
