Value of Delegation

The Value of Delegation, with Bill McDermott, Host of ProfitSense 

Only 1% of businesses pass the $10 million mark. As Profitability Coach Bill McDermott explains, the number one reason for this striking statistic is lack of delegation. On a recent episode of ProfitSense, Bill discussed the value of delegation, not just for the business, but for employees, company culture, and the owner’s plans to exit. ProfitSense with Bill McDermott is produced and broadcast by the North Fulton Studio of Business RadioX® in Alpharetta.

Bill’s commentary was taken from this episode of ProfitSense.
