Your firm grew. The way work moves did not.
This session is for owners who have already tried hiring, systems, and time management, but still feel every important decision coming back to them.
Growth made you the system
The firm grew, but the work still routes through the person who started it. Every decision, handoff, and follow-up waits for you.
The bottleneck hides in plain sight
You can have good people and good intentions while ownership, process, and decision authority remain invisible between steps.
Delegation needs somewhere to land
A task only stays delegated when everyone can see what done means, how the work gets done, and who can decide what happens next.
Stop being the person every answer waits on.
You've hired people. You've built systems. You've blocked time on your calendar and told yourself things would settle down after this trial, this quarter, this busy season. They didn't.
Karen Dunn Skinner and David Skinner joined Legalboards for a live, hour-long session on the structural reasons delegation breaks down, and how to make ownership visible instead of keeping it in your head.
