Delegation isn’t Laziness: It's Leadership (Business Tips for Entrepreneurs and CEOs)

Delegation isn’t laziness—it’s leadership.

In this episode of The Mason Duchatschek Show, I talk with Theresa Bassett, CEO of The Diamond Group and author of Uplevel, about one of the most common bottlenecks in growing companies: the leader.

Many entrepreneurs pride themselves on being the “do it all” type. But that mindset can become the very thing that stalls progress. Theresa and I explore how learning to delegate, collaborate, and empower others is the key to scaling your team and your business.

If you’re serious about recession-proofing your business, this conversation will help you move from doer to leader and create a company that can thrive—without bottlenecking at the top.

Key Takeaways
✅ Delegation is a leadership strategy—not a sign of weakness
✅ Entrepreneurial “do-it-yourself” habits can become business liabilities
✅ Eliminating leadership bottlenecks unlocks team growth
✅ Leaders must evolve from doers to strategists and coaches
✅ Collaboration and cooperation drive scalability and resilience

About Our Company

Alchemy was the medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter. It was concerned with attempts to convert base metals (like lead) into gold. WORKFORCE ALCHEMY is kind of like that—except with people and businesses.

We provide various skill, attitude, and personality-based psychometric assessment tools and training to help employers with employee selection, engagement, and retention.
