Successful businesses require strategic processes for task delegation, goal-setting, and growth. While some entrepreneurs excel at these responsibilities, others are more creative and struggle to implement the right systems, remain assertive, and follow through with their practices.

Augusto Carneiro falls under the second category of entrepreneurs. As a creative visionary and people-pleaser, he values the freedom to develop new ideas and tends to delegate tasks too quickly. Yet, systems don’t have to be constraining, and after hiring a process-oriented COO, Augusto found that adhering to a regular schedule allows for further flexibility. It’s also crucial to develop sound business goals and values so that you can delegate tasks with authority and intention and provide constructive feedback confidently.
