Empower Your Team Through Delegation
The biggest challenge I’ve faced in my entire career but especially as CMO, is learning when to rely on my team or to admit that I don’t have the answer. I think, once you reach a certain level, you start to believe that everyone expects you to have all the answers. However, the sign of a true leader is how well they are able to guide and delegate to their team. It is a constant battle for me to stop and think, “Is this something I should be doing or is this something I should guide my team to solve?” I do find that the more you practice letting go the easier it becomes. It’s hard to be a well-rounded self-aware person in general, add to that the expectation of leading a productive team and it can be too much pressure. The best advice I can give is to do your best to listen to those around you and keep learning and growing from your mistakes.
