  • 376: How To Delegate And Unlock Growth With Chris Ronzio

    376: How To Delegate And Unlock Growth With Chris Ronzio
    Sep 23 2025

    Why do so many managers struggle to let go of tasks, even when they know that holding onto everything stifles their ability to scale?


    The secret is to document things so clearly that others can succeed without you.


    Fortunately, today’s guest is an expert at helping leaders let go.


    Chris Ronzio is the Founder and CEO of Trainual, a platform reshaping how businesses onboard, train, and scale their teams. A lifelong entrepreneur, he helps leaders unlock growth by mastering the art of documenting and delegating. Chris is also the bestselling author of The Business Playbook: How to Document and Delegate What You Do So Your Company Can Grow Beyond You. Beyond work, he’s a husband, father, and passionate Phoenix Suns fan.


    In this episode, Chris shares frameworks and strategies to help managers create clarity, engage their teams in documentation, and free themselves up to focus on what matters most.


    In the extended conversation, Chris explores how to turn documentation into a team sport, cascade delegation across levels, and troubleshoot when processes aren’t followed—revealing practical ways to finally stop doing it all yourself.

    Groups are the foundation of everything we accomplish in work and life.

    Yet, as every manager knows, collaborating with others can be both the greatest strength and one of the hardest challenges.

    What makes some teams thrive while others struggle with friction and disengagement?

    Fortunately, this week’s guest, Dr. Colin Fisher, has dedicated his career to uncovering the hidden processes that make groups effective.


    Colin is an associate professor of organizations and innovation at University College London’s School of Management, a researcher featured in outlets like Harvard Business Review and BBC, and the author of The Collective Edge. His work sheds light on how managers can structure and guide their teams to harness the true power of collaboration.

    In this episode, Colin explores the dynamics that shape effective teamwork, from setting clear goals to designing the right team structure, establishing norms, and fostering psychological safety.

    Whether you’re leading a small project team or a large organization, you’ll gain practical insights on how to unlock your group’s collective potential.
