E26 The Delegation Dilemma

Delegation shows up in every leadership book and meeting and still manages to feel harder than it looks. In this episode, Jonna and Simone dig into why handing work off can trigger anxiety, hesitation, and even a sense of personal risk. They explore the neuroscience behind our instinct to hold on, how identity and past experiences shape our approach, and why many high-potential leaders unintentionally slip into "accidental dictator" mode. The episode wraps with practical insights for building trust, elevating capability, and using delegation as a catalyst for stronger leadership, not just more efficiency.
