The Delegation Trap: How You’re Secretly Staying Stuck | EP 157

Most consultancy owners think they’re delegating, but behind the scenes, everything still runs through them.

In this episode, I break down why handing off tasks without handing over decisions keeps you busy, overwhelmed, and stuck, even with a capable team around you.

I explain why phrases like “just check with me before it goes out” quietly turn you into the bottleneck, how owners unintentionally train their teams to wait instead of think, and what real delegation actually looks like if you want time back without standards slipping.

I also share a real client example that shows how transferring ownership, authority, and decision-making (not just tasks) is what finally frees founders up and allows the business to move forward without them behind every decision.
