3 Shifts to Grow Your Consultancy

Ever found yourself fixing a team member’s work at 10pm at night because you’ve told yourself: 

“It’s just easier if I do it myself”? 

You’re not alone. 

Almost every consultancy owner I work with has been there. 

And usually, it comes down to two things: 

Trust. And control. 

It makes sense - your names on the line. You want it to be perfect. 

But here’s the problem: 

Every time you jump in to fix it, you’re training your team to rely on you. 

Less ownership. More dependency. And suddenly, you’ve become the bottleneck. 

So how do you fix that? 

Here are 3 simple shifts: 

1) From Control → Clarity 

Stop assuming they know what “good” looks like. 

Be clear. Document expectations. Set them up to win. 

2) From Reacting → Coaching 

Don’t just fix it. Sit down, unpack the mistake, and guide them through the solution. 

Make it a teachable moment - not a rescue mission. 

3) From Doer → Designer 

Your job isn’t to patch holes. 

It’s to build systems that stop those holes from happening in the first place. 

Leadership isn't about doing everything yourself. 

It’s about building a team you can trust - and giving them the clarity they need to succeed without you.
