In this episode of The Scale Point Podcast, Heather Wanninger welcomes Atiba de Souza, entrepreneur, speaker, and author of The Delegation Trap. Atiba shares why so many coaches and business owners struggle to delegate effectively and end up stuck in the cycle of “I’ll just do it myself.”

Through personal stories, coaching analogies, and his powerful CASE Method framework, Atiba shows how leaders can stop being the “superhero” in their businesses and start building teams that think, act, and lead with ownership.

Key Takeaways

• Why doing tasks yourself creates a “superhero complex” that actually breeds team laziness.
  
• How the wrong delegation style can turn even A-players into disengaged employees.
  
• The importance of hiring based on core values first, not just skills.
  
• Why leaders must train people to think, not just follow tasks.
  
• The CASE Method for effective delegation: Challenges, Articulate, Study, Easier.
