How do you help leaders understand they need to delegate? I often hear this question, and it was the focus of a recent letter I received.

“Hello Jesse: What have you found are the most effective ways to engage business owners in the need to delegate? Are there particular pain points that make them consider learning how to delegate? Or instead does an appeal to the upside, such as employee development and engagement, get more of a response? I am working with business owners with 5–50 employees.
—Michael”

Instead of responding privately, I decided to publish my response in my blog, as it might be of interest to others as well.
