Are you a systems-oriented leader? Or, do you find it time-consuming to document your company’s processes and procedures?

In order to create and grow a successful business, you need to have the right mindset, the right skills, and the right systems. If you struggle with documenting systems and processes, delegating the work to a member of your team who is up to the task can help save you a lot of frustration and setbacks. And, with this approach, you can free up more space to follow your strengths and passions as an entrepreneur.

In this episode of the Systems Simplified podcast, Adi Klevit interviews Ryan Buchanan, the Founder and CEO of Thesis, about visionary leadership and how he gives back to the business community. Ryan explains how he handles delegation, the inspiration behind his nonprofits, and his tips for navigating the challenges of growing an agency. Stay tuned.
