Season 5 starts with the guest who started it all. Caroline Webb is back, tackling a question every overloaded leader needs to answer: what should you stop doing yourself?


Caroline joined Better at Work for our very first episode in 2022. Now she returns with Leadership Intelligence and a practical conversation about the shift from doing great work yourself to helping other people do theirs.


She and Cathal Quinlan explore what deserves a deliberate yes, what someone else could learn to do, and how to say no when something else matters more.


In this episode:

• Make time for the leadership work only you can do.

• Use Yes/Grow/No to decide what to keep, delegate and decline.

• Work through ACORN: Aim, Criteria, Options, Rating and Next steps.

• Give specific feedback without jumping to conclusions.

• Use Brag and Borrow to share progress and ask for help.

• Work through difficult stakeholder relationships and reset under pressure.


Caroline is a leadership coach, economist and author of How to Have a Good Day and Leadership Intelligence.
