Delegation is supposed to create capacity… but sometimes it does the exact opposite.

In this episode, Ami & Zac unpack the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways leaders accidentally dump-truck tasks onto their team - overwhelming the system, stretching capacity, and damaging culture without even realising it.

We explore:
 • The difference between true delegation and task 'dump trucking'
 • Why busy leaders fall into the dump-truck trap
 • How overload shows up in team behaviour, performance, and morale
 • Practical strategies to delegate with clarity, accountability, and intention
 • How to protect your practice from silent burnout and workflow bottlenecks

If you’ve ever said “Can someone just take this?”… this episode will hit home.

Tune in, reset your delegation habits, and help your team thrive.
