What you actually want to do with every single employee, every single day is expand the scope of their responsibilities until it breaks.

The next thing you do is allocate resources.

Where there are low consequences and you have very low confidence in your own opinion, you should absolutely delegate.

The team you build is the company you build.

The office environment that people live in and work in, dictates your culture and how people make decisions.

Create tools that enable people to make decisions at the same level, ideally, of fidelity that that you would make them yourself.

It's never a metric, it's where the person is going or not. Metrics are used to make things work better, but don't necessarily make a business better.
