Hi,
Yesterday I told you about the moment Osama Bin Laden could’ve been captured…
…but wasn’t — because one man thought the mission mattered less than his bruised ego that another agency took the lead.
Donald Rumsfeld chose politics over progress.
Image over success
Ego over execution.
Turf over victory.
And Bin Laden vanished for nearly 10 years.
Now let’s bring this back to you.
You may not be commanding troops — but every time you refuse to let go, or worse, delegate to someone who can’t lead, you are Rumsfelding yourself and your business.
That can mean putting your success in the hands of someone who:
- Waits for permission instead of charging forward
- Doesn’t understand the stakes
- Doesn’t have the horsepower to finish the job
- Cares more about their turf than your outcome
This is how businesses stall.
This is how exits fall apart.
This is how you wake up in your 60s still chasing, not cashing in.
Here’s the truth:
You can’t clone yourself.
But you can empower people who get it — if you know how to spot them.
And over the next few days I will be showing you how you can find your multiplier — and avoid your ball and chain.
Because just delegating for the sake of it isn’t the answer.
Correct delegation is.
Anything less will Rumsfeld your business into the ground.
