I push decision authority to whoever has the training, awareness, and time to decide.

I delegate authority, not just tasks.

The people closest to problems can act without waiting for me.

I communicate intent so people can decide within it.

I invest in the training that makes delegated authority safe.

I back people when their reasonable judgment produces an imperfect result.

I resist reclaiming authority after a delegated decision goes wrong.

I have mapped which recurring decisions sit at the wrong level.

I am not the bottleneck through which everything must pass.

I measure my success by decisions made well without me.
