In episode 284 of the IDEAS+LEADERS Podcast, I’m joined by Stefan Feuerstein, founder of ABC Delegation, author of A-B-C Delegation: The Manager’s Guide to Effective Delegation, and one of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 leaders. With experience leading humanitarian operations and managing teams of thousands, Stefan brings a rare, real-world perspective on leadership under pressure.

We explore why leaders burn out not because they work too hard, but because they become bottlenecks, confusing delegation with task dumping. Stefan shares how his A-B-C Delegation framework helps leaders know when to stay involved, when to be informed, and when to step aside so teams can truly step up.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why delegation is not optional, but central to leadership
• How poor delegation creates burnout and stalls organizations
• How to systematize decision-making without micromanaging
• What it really means to empower teams and scale impact

Tune in for a practical, eye-opening conversation on delegation as a force multiplier in modern leadership.
