Description

Nick Davies breaks down one of the most frustrating patterns in financial advisory practices: a team that's clearly capable but still can't execute consistently without the advisor driving every step. The issue isn't skill, motivation, or even accountability — it's that decision-making authority has never truly been transferred. Nick walks through the shift from task-based accountability to full process ownership, explains how to design roles around functions rather than lists of tasks, and shows how to build the right communication cadence so your team can keep things moving even when you're not in the room.
