S1 E35 - How Smart Delegation Drives Real Success with Maureen Doss

You cannot build real success by doing everything yourself—and yet, that’s exactly where so many leaders get stuck.

In this episode of CLARATY in Action, we’re breaking down one of the most misunderstood (and avoided) leadership skills: delegation.

I’m joined by Maureen Doss, Founder of Virtual Workhourse, a VA services company that helps business owners and leaders reclaim their time, focus on what matters most, and scale without burning out.

Together, we dive into:

How to know when it’s time to delegate (and the warning signs you’re ignoring)
The hidden costs of not delegating—to your business, energy, and leadership
How to identify what to delegate vs. what to keep
How to find the right person so delegation actually works
Why delegation isn’t about giving up control—it’s about gaining clarity and momentum
If you’re overwhelmed, stretched thin, or stuck in the weeds of your business or role, this conversation will help you shift from doing everything to leading intentionally.

Delegation isn’t a luxury.
It’s a leadership skill—and a growth strategy.
