Episode Details

In this episode, Carl rethinks delegation through a simple lesson from an emergency room doctor: Focus on doing what only you can do. He explores the hidden costs of delegation, from training and mistakes to the cognitive load of checking someone else’s work, and asks whether the real goal is not to delegate tasks, but to delegate ownership. It’s a practical reflection on deleting, automating, delegating, and knowing when the simplest answer might be to just do the thing yourself.
