This week on The Chris Salerno Show, Chris sits down with Atiba de Souza, author, entrepreneur, and leadership mentor who has spent over 25 years helping business owners break free from burnout and build teams that truly take ownership. From gyms and bakeries to food service companies, Atiba has led across industries and discovered a consistent truth: most business problems trace back to one thing — ineffective delegation.
In this conversation, Atiba breaks down the biggest mistakes leaders make when trying to hand off work, why trust is the real foundation of delegation, and how his C.A.S.E. Method helps executives reclaim their time and elevate team performance. He also shares lessons from coaching National Championship youth football teams and explains why strong relationships are the root of winning results in business and life.
About Atiba:
Atiba de Souza is the author of The Delegation Trap: It’s Not Them, It’s You, a practical guide that helps leaders escape bottlenecks and build teams that think and act like owners. With more than two decades of entrepreneurial experience, he mentors executives, speaks nationally on leadership, and teaches proven frameworks that help businesses grow stronger, even when the leader steps away.
