Really proud to have a chapter on this amazing book. Thanks a lot Robert Plank

Fractional CFO | E-commerce Strategist & Financial Blueprint Innovator | Shaping Investor Narratives with Strategic Insight

Ever notice how “delegation” somehow turns into a boomerang?

You hand something off.
You breathe for five minutes.
Then it comes back… unclear, off-target, or missing the one thing you assumed was obvious.

So you jump in “just to keep it moving.”
And congrats—you’re the bottleneck again!

That’s why I wanted Leandro D'Elía (founder of Eightx - Fractional CFOs for FMCG Brands) inside our new book "Results on Repeat."

Because he flips the usual advice on its head:

Delegation is not duplication.

If you need someone to do it exactly like you would, you’re not delegating—you’re cloning yourself… and still managing every decision.

Leandro’s fix is brutally practical: upstream + downstream thinking.
Not more meetings. Not more SOPs. Better context at the moment of the handoff.

Here’s what that looks like in the real world:
- Upstream: Who will use this? What decision will it drive? What does “done” mean?
- Downstream: What happens next? Who relies on this? What breaks if it’s wrong or late?
- Give the why, not just the what (context creates ownership)
- Delegate outcomes, not methods (expect different style, same result)
- Have them outline their approach first, then you guide (mentoring beats micromanaging)
- Run a five-minute Q&A before you celebrate (it prevents five days of rework)

His bigger point is the one most founders avoid:
Half your job is leading people.
And most people don’t resign jobs—they resign people.

Leandro’s chapter, “Train, Then Trust: Upstream/Downstream Delegation to Stop Being the Bottleneck,” is one of the clearest playbooks I’ve seen for turning handoffs into real ownership.

And it fits the bigger mission of Results on Repeat:
Predictable growth doesn’t come from more hustle.
It comes from building the operating system—capacity, delegation, structure, and trust—so the business can run without your constant rescue.
