89 Lisa Glenn-Nobles: Why Clarity Changes Everything in Delegation
Send us Fan MailBonnie welcomes Lisa Glenn-Nobles, CEO and principal of LGN Collab, for a candid conversation about operations, delegation, and how to build people-centered systems that support sustainable growth. Lisa shares her accidental entrepreneur story, why she still loves being “number two,” and how that mindset shaped her work as an operations consultant and fractional COO.They dig into one of the biggest founder pain points: knowing whether you need a fractional COO, an EA, or another type of support altogether. Lisa explains that a fractional COO is the right fit when a founder needs a strategic partner who can make decisions, create structure, and help guide hiring strategy, not just take tasks. Bonnie adds real-world perspective from her own background in executive support and delegation.The conversation also explores why so many hires fail before they even begin. Lisa explains that when leaders bring someone in without clear systems, documentation, and expectations, the issue usually is not the person... it is the lack of clarity around the role. Bonnie and Lisa also talk about adapting to communication preferences, the role of emotional intelligence, and how AI can help support pros better match voice and tone.They wrap by talking about growth, network power, and the value of knowing when to bring in a strategist first, then hand off to an EA or other support person once the structure is in place. Lisa also shares the first things she delegated in her own business and how that early support helped her scale.Process Clarity KitWebsiteLinkedIn#DelegationStrategy #EntrepreneurLeadership #FounderMindset #ProductivityTips #LeadershipDevelopmentSupport the showGet your D2E Swag Here Find us on:D2EGSD on Youtube:D2EGSD Website:LinkedIn:Spotify:Find Your Service ProKeywords:#Productivity#Delegation#Outsourcing#Productivity#Leadership #Viral
