Listen to the Episode Below: When was the last time you took a 2-week vacation? Were you tethered to your smartphone? How often did you check in to the office (whether you had to or not)?

In this episode, Dr. Curtis Odom shares his insights on “knowledge transfer” so that your personal high-touch service and attitude can be replicated among your team members. If You Can’t Be Replaced, You’re Trapped… Determine which things are absolutely essential, that only you can do. Delegate the rest to members of your team.

Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with thousands of New York business professionals who want a legal advisor to guide and support them as they navigate the business world.
