What Most Firm Owners Suck At (Including Me)

Ryan Lazanis, the host of the Future Firm Accounting Podcast, discusses the importance of delegation for firm owners. He shares his personal experience of being a poor delegator and how realizing this during the acquisition of his firm changed his perspective. He emphasizes that perfect delegation isn't necessary; aiming for 80% completion by others is sufficient. Lazanis outlines a four-step system for effective delegation: flipping one's mindset, identifying tasks to delegate, defining roles and responsibilities, and mapping out standard operating procedures. He concludes by highlighting that effective delegation is crucial for firm growth and the owner's freedom, contrasting firms that scale successfully with those that remain small due to the owner's inability to delegate.
