Today’s guest is Elane Stock, the CEO of ServiceMaster Brands.
There’s an adage I’m sure you’ve heard: the only way to gain control is to give up control.
If you’ve ever run a business or led a team, you know how true this statement is. I’m sure you also know how hard it can be to give up control.   
But if we want our companies to grow, we have to learn to trust our partners and team members and allow them to do their part to build the business.
What you’re going to hear in this episode is how Elane has learned to give up control while running a franchise system where her company owns the brands and the franchisees own their independent businesses.
Whether you’re struggling to give up control running a large business with franchisees or running a small business, there’s a lot here for you on today’s episode. 
And here’s what I want you to learn today: the great leaders I know have learned to give up control.
