Ep. 516 - Things You Cannot Delegate as a CEO

Jason Schroeder lays out the things a CEO or president simply cannot hand off to someone else, no matter how good their team is. He walks through the financials, cash flow, key seats, raving fans, and marketing, and explains why mistakes happen precisely because of what leaders choose not to see. It's a direct, personal episode grounded in his own experience nearly losing control of Elevate Construction by delegating the wrong things.
