What if the key to becoming a more effective leader is doing less? In this episode of LeadWell with Jacqui, I sit down with Jonno White, a leadership coach, author of Step Up or Step Out, and founder of Clarity Consulting, to unpack the power of delegation in avoiding burnout, building trust, and empowering your team to thrive.
We explore Jonno’s practical delegation framework (including the Square of Delegated Responsibility), how to balance skill versus will, and why letting go can be the most strategic move a leader makes. If you're ready to stop carrying it all and start growing your leadership impact, this conversation is for you.
