Most founders don’t talk about it out loud, but the real reason delegation feels impossible isn’t about time or team — it’s about trust.

In this episode of Ops Uncovered, Michelle unpacks the fear behind delegation and why so many visionary founders stay stuck doing it all themselves. She shares why the resistance to let go isn’t a control problem — it’s an identity one — and how clarity, not hustle, is the path to confident leadership.

You’ll learn:

• Why delegation fear has less to do with trust and more to do with self-worth
• How lack of clarity in systems creates micromanagement loops
• The difference between handing off tasks and handing off decisions
• What operational structure needs to exist before delegation feels safe

Michelle also shares a client story that reveals how structured delegation transformed one founder’s exhaustion into capacity — working 20 hours less each week without losing quality or control.

If you’ve been afraid to let go, this episode will remind you:

Delegation isn’t the loss of control. It’s the expression of trust.
