Episode Description

Most leaders don’t actually want more money. They want more time.

In this short episode, I walk through the first (and most overlooked) step to freeing up your time without losing results: delegating outcomes rather than tasks. This small shift moves you out of micromanaging, builds real ownership on your team, and stops you from being the bottleneck.

  • 00:27 The Importance of Freeing Up Time

  • 01:01 Delegating Outcomes: The First Step

  • 02:06 Shifting Focus from Tasks to Results

  • 03:24 Empowering Your Team

  • 05:18 The Benefits of Delegating Outcomes

About Your Host, Sarah Olivieri

Bold, strategic, and refreshingly human…

Sarah Olivieri is the go-to expert for conversations on aligned leadership, outcome delegation, and sustainable growth.



She brings wit, warmth, and real-world wisdom to mission-driven founders, visionary CEOs, and change-makers who want more clarity, more joy, and more results.

Most leaders hit a wall when success depends on them holding it all together.

Sarah helps them change that by redefining leadership around outcomes instead of activity, empowering teams to own results that scale and freeing leaders to focus on the vision that drives them.

A former director of three nonprofits and founder of five businesses, she has a rare ability to spot opportunity where others see chaos, shift stuck patterns, and build organizations that support both legacy and life.

Sarah leads with the same mindset that made her an award-winning sailor: iterate on what works, stay focused in the storm, and never forget the joy of the journey.
