You know that leader who does it all - makes every decision, holds every piece, approves everything before it goes out the door?

This week on The Impact List, Laurie sits down with Debbie Lariviere, the founder and head coach of Monter Coaching and host of the Real Estate Leadership Unlocked podcast.

They talk about what it costs to keep doing everything yourself, how to tell the difference between delegating a task and actually transferring ownership.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The difference between a job and a business
• What "transfer of ownership" really means (and why delegation isn't the same thing)
• How to hire for who you actually are, not who you think you should be

We talk about:
