Complex audits need CPA expertise But data entry, invoice processing flow Can teach the rookies how to grow Document the handoff with precision Written scope prevents collision [Chorus] Match the task to talent level - SMART goals shine Set expectations crystal-clean across the line Check progress without hovering like a hawk Delegate, elevate, let your people walk The tightrope between freedom and control Growing skills while reaching every goal [Bridge] Milestone meetings, not daily prying Resource support when they're trying Feedback loops that build them higher Coaching moments that inspire Authority with accountability Creates sustainable capability [Verse 3] When Marcus botched the payroll run She could've fixed it, called it done Instead she walked him through each error Made him stronger, made him terrer Now he owns that process completely Trust rebuilt, team functioning sweetly [Final Chorus] Match the task to talent level - SMART goals shine Set expectations crystal-clean across the line Check progress without hovering like a hawk Delegate, elevate, let your people walk The tightrope between freedom and control Growing skills while reaching every goal Delegation multiplication Builds accounting excellence across the nation
