But here’s the thing: doing everything yourself isn’t sustainable. And it’s definitely not scalable. At some point, your “I’ve got this” becomes “I can’t keep doing this.”

That’s why delegation isn’t a luxury. It’s a leadership skill. And spoiler alert: the secret to delegating well isn’t cloning yourself- it’s hiring the right Executive Assistant who can run with it like they already work there.

‍

The Real Reason You’re Struggling to Delegate

Most leaders don’t have an issue doing the work. You’ve built your company, scaled your operations, maybe even onboarded employees. You’re smart, capable, and used to things being done a certain way.

But handing something off? That’s when things get sticky.

Here’s what’s really holding most leaders back:

• You’re worried it’ll take more time to explain than to just do it yourself
  
• You don’t want to come off as “bossy” or “demanding”
  
• You’ve been burned before by bad support
  
• You don’t know what to delegate- or how to let go of it
  
  

Sound familiar? That’s where a skilled Executive Assistant changes the game.

Why Business Leaders Need a True Delegation Partner

A great Executive Assistant isn’t just a task-taker. They’re a strategic thinking partner. At MPG, our assistants are trained to support leaders who are smart, fast-moving, and frankly- used to doing it all.

Here’s what an EA from MPG brings to the table:

• Anticipation of needs: Before you say it, they’re already on it
  
• Operational calm: They bring structure to your chaos
  
• Discretion & trust: They’re the gatekeeper you actually trust with the keys
• Independent execution: You delegate once, they make it disappear
  
  

What Should You Actually Delegate?

Let’s start with some low-hanging fruit- tasks that drain your energy and can be done (better) by someone else:

💼 Admin & Scheduling

Inbox clean-up, meeting coordination, calendar blocking, Zoom link wrangling

📋 Operations

CRM updates, internal workflows, recruiting logistics, onboarding support

📣 Marketing Support

Newsletter formatting, social post scheduling, client follow-up sequences

✈️ Business Travel & Expenses

Flight research, hotel bookings, itinerary planning, receipt management

🧠 “Hey, can you figure this out for me?”

AI research, podcast booking, supplier quotes, productivity tool reviews

If it’s a repeatable task, a project that slows you down, or something you dread? DELEGATE IT.

The Delegation Mindset Shift

Want to know the mindset shift that changed everything for our clients?

“If I keep doing everything myself, I’m not leading- I’m just busy.”

Delegation doesn’t mean losing control. It means trusting someone with control, so you can lead from a higher place.

A great Executive Assistant doesn’t make you less in the loop- they make you more effective, more available, and more focused.

Letting Go Doesn’t Mean Letting It Drop

MPG’s Executive Assistants are experts in working with leaders who’ve never delegated before- or who’ve had less-than-stellar experiences in the past.

Here’s how we make it easier:

• We match you with U.S.-based talent with strong executive-level experience
  
• You get a dedicated assistant (no task pools or ticketing systems)
  
• We support you and your EA through onboarding, training, and regular check-ins
  
• You control the pace of delegation- we’ll help you build trust over time
  

You’re not alone in this. And once you feel what good delegation feels like, you’ll never want to go back.
