What CEO Advice Did Shauna Swerland of Fuel Talent Come to Believe Late?
at 31:23
Answer
On the first episode of What Fuels You, Fuel Talent founder Shauna Swerland says a piece of career advice she did not believe early on was that a CEO or founder must understand every part of the business inside and out. She has since decided that was a false belief. She says women in particular have a hard time delegating, and she includes herself: she is not as good a negotiator as she wants to be. Convincing herself she had to master every function was the idea she had to drop in order to run Fuel Talent from the seat she is actually good at.
