Discover time-tested strategies to growing a successful business and leading a team—without sacrificing your personal life. The key is delegation.

Drawing on his own experience launching and scaling multiple companies, New York Times bestselling author Dave Kerpen shares the secrets of how you can shift your mindset (and your workload) to focus on the things that are most important for your business, your employees, and you.

With the rise of remote work, the gig economy, AI, and social media, the boundaries between work and home are dissolving, leaving workplace leaders with less time for themselves than ever before. Featuring real-life examples and prompts for goal setting, Get Over Yourself is a blueprint to help readers become master delegators by learning how to:
  • Embrace delegation as a strategy for long-term growth and success
  • Avoid common challenges faced by small business owners and corporate leaders
  • Navigate the changing work landscape, including remote work, hybrid work, ChatGPT, and the gig economy
  • Choose the right people for your team and encourage a workplace of trust and autonomy
  • Create a healthy, sustainable work-life balance in today’s dynamic work environment
  • Build a business that serves your life, not a life that serves your business

Get Over Yourself is an evergreen guide for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and leaders growing their businesses in a new world. By shifting your mindset in small, impactful ways, you can reclaim your time with peace of mind and turn your attention to what matters most.

Delegation help from someone who GETS IT!
Loved this book! As a busy small business owner, as well as a devoted wife and mom-- my plate is VERY full. I've read many books on delegation before, but this is the one that's resonated the most. The author "keeps it real" by sharing personal examples... and the fact that he's had successful 8-figure exits from businesses he's built really confirms his credibility. It also helps that parts of this book are laugh-out-loud funny, especially for those of us who understand what it means to have a perfectionist streak.This book has my highligher in action -- will definitely be referring back to make sure I put the techniques into full effect. Five stars for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST read for Every Senior Leader and Entrepreneur
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2024

With never ending demands, so many of us feel that there just isn't enough of one's own resources to go around. And its true. This book has the practical answer about how to create a "resource library". People and systems to take the pressure off and allow a person to focus on their most important work. Even though I have always believed I have been pretty good at utilizing my team, the perspectives and methods in this book have been game-changing. Easy to read and with HUGE long term gains to be had, I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! Delegation through AI
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2024

GREAT book- and I was happy to see that the author even touched on using AI and delegation.

It’s a touchy subject in today’s new genAI world, and I thought this author struck the perfect balance between “put that in ChatGPT” and “have humans do it.”

Also, I liked the bonus benefit of including an enneagram quiz, which is a very interesting personality test!

I’m a big fan of Dave’s books- (disclosure: I’m married to him!) but I love this one so much because of the SHARE model. It’s a simple effective way to determine what to do yourself versus what to delegate. Once I read it I found myself using the model constantly! Thanks Dave for another gem!
