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

Basically this is what you want - a high performance machine that idiots can run.

The team you build is the company you build.

Any executive, any CEO should not have 1 management style. Your management style needs to be dictated by your employee.

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.

The more you simplify, the better people will perform. People can not understand and keep track of a long complicated set of initiatives. So you have to distill it down to one, two, or three things and use a framework they can repeat, they can repeat without thinking about, they can repeat to their friends, they can repeat at night.
