What is one of the biggest challenges emerging leaders face during their transition from being a doer to a delegator?

Learning to let go of control and empower others to do the work in their own way is a challenge for many. Yet, the most effective leaders understand that they don't need to know everything and can hire or train people who are knowledgeable and can rise to the challenges.

On this week's episode of She Leads Now, I am joined by Michelle Raymond, and we discuss ways emerging leaders can successfully shift from being a manager and doer, to being a leader who empowers and supports their team. We also discuss why women need to amplify their forces and advance in their professional and personal lives to have a great impact on the world.

Michelle Raymond is an Emerging Leadership Coach and Trainer, Certified Master NLP Practitioner, and award-winning International TEDx Speaker on a mission to make the inVisible Visible!

Michelle is the CEO of an Executive Coaching and Training Consultancy, The People's Partner, specializing in building future fit and diverse pipelines with organizations that are keen to develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence of emerging leaders.
