For Your Leaders
The ROI of Decision Making
If a leader's time is the most expensive in the room, it should be spent on the most valuable work in the room.
Senior leaders are expected to spend most of their time on strategy, high-stakes judgment and high-value decisions. Yet most spend a large share of their week on work far from what actually moves the needle, not because it's important, but because letting go feels harder than doing it themselves.
This session puts a clear price on that. Leaders learn to sort their work by real return, make decisions based on ROI rather than urgency or habit, and delegate with a clean threshold, so their time goes where it actually creates value, and their team grows into the work they hand over.

Goals
What we will do
Put a real number on what a leader's time is worth, and what low-value work actually costs.
Sort decisions and tasks by return, so the highest-value work gets the best of their brain.
Give leaders a clean, defensible rule for what to delegate, and to whom.
Name what's really stopping them from letting go.
The impact
Benefits
Participant's benefits
- ✓A clear way to price their own time, and the work that isn't worth it.
- ✓A simple sort for what to do, delegate, systematize, or drop.
- ✓A delegation threshold that ends the "it's faster if I do it myself" loop.
- ✓The honest reason they hold on to certain work, and a way past it.
Organization's benefits
- ✓Highly-paid leaders doing high-value work, returning financial leverage.
- ✓Faster execution, as decisions and tasks stop bottlenecking at one desk.
- ✓A stronger bench, because delegated work is how team members grow into bigger roles.
- ✓Lower key-person risk, as the organization stops depending on one person doing everything.
Is this for you?
Who should attend
You're in upper-middle to senior management, a director, or a senior expert.
You know you should delegate more, and somehow you still don't.
You're the single point of failure, and the team waits on you to move.
You want your time going to the decisions only you can make.
Curriculum
What you'll learn
How to price your time with the Revenue-to-Cost Ratio, the 3x economic standard, so you see exactly what it costs when you do the low-value task yourself.
How to sort your work by value and energy cost into do, delegate, systematize, or eliminate.
The 70% Rule of Execution: if someone can do it 70% as well as you, it's theirs. A clean line that takes the guilt out of delegating.
Which internal pattern is really blocking you: the Controller who won't trust it, the Pleaser who won't burden anyone, the Martyr who finds it faster alone — and how to move past it.
Statistics
Why you want to learn it
Holding on to low-value work is more expensive than it looks:
Managers spend around 60% of their time on low-value tasks and 72% in meetings (HBR), leaving little room for the strategic work only they can do.
When a €150/hour leader does €30/hour work, that gap is a cost the business absorbs every single day.
Doing it yourself doesn't just cost your time, it caps the company at your personal bandwidth, and quietly trains your team to bring you problems instead of solutions.
Delegation isn't offloading. It's how you build people who can carry more, and how you free yourself for the decisions that actually need you.

“I moved anything that needs real thinking to before 10am and stopped booking decisions after four. It sounds trivial, and it increased my efficiency.”

“Threat response vs challenge response sounds obvious until you are facing it. I can feel the switch happening now, and I can usually turn it around before I act.”
