Radical Delegation: Hired an Assistant and Still Struggling? How to Go From Grind to Great

by Patrick Ewers, Connor Drake

Radical Delegation isn't your typical business book. No theory It's a pragmatic, conversational handbook for leaders designed to free up 12+ hours a week by introducing the most important hire you've (probably) never An Engagement Manager, who acts as a cross between a highly-skilled assistant and an intuitive chief of staff.

Through a series of step-by-step playbooks (ranging from eDrafting to Inbox Shadowing and beyond) you'll learn how to hire and work with an assistant to eliminate everything on your plate that isn't the best use of your time and 10X your ability to invest into the relationships you need to reach your fullest potential.

Advance Praise for Radical "If you want to free up time and connect with people more thoughtfully, this book will be indispensable."Steve Huffman, CEO, Reddit"If you're working with an assistant, you need this book—period. And if you aren't working with an assistant, you need this book even more."Noah Glass, Founder and CEO, OLO"I’m sending a copy of this book to every founder I invest in and everyone in my network who cares about being more effective. It should be required reading for any current or aspiring leader."Charles Hudson, Managing Partner, Precursor Ventures"And I thought I was productive before! The tactics in Radical Delegation took me and my EA to the next level. We are more responsive, proactive and impactful together. I’m spending more time on the most important things."Scott Mordell, Former CEO, YPO International"This is the masterpiece on efficiency at work that I've been waiting for! I've already put many of these techniques to work and I'm feeling much more productive. More importantly, I'm feeling happier and frankly, relieved. This book is easily worth thousands of times the purchase price if your time and sanity at work is valuable to you. So, stop reading my view, and start reading Radical Delegation instead. You can have your engagement manager thank me later."David Cohen, Co-Founder and Chairman, Techstars"Written with clarity and a practical approach, this book introduces actionable tools and replicable workflows that have revolutionized the way my EA and I work together. Implementing the strategies outlined in Radical Delegation has enabled me to free up hours each week by delegating tasks that don't require my direct involvement. The book also provides insights into maximizing productivity, reducing mental load, and fostering leadership qualities. I eagerly anticipate what comes next in Ewers' "trilogy," and I highly recommend Radical Delegation to fellow CEOs and leaders seeking to unlock their full potential and up-level efficiency and effectiveness in their professional and personal lives."Lennie Sliwinski, Founder & CEO, Trusted Health
