The final session of Engineering Leadership in the AI Era kicks off in just one week! You still have time to sign up here.
I’ve been out of the office since last week, recovering from surgery. I’ve got another week of being laid up ahead of me, mostly catching up on books and TV shows and resisting the urge to check in on work “just to see how things are going.”
That distance has been clarifying.
Most conversations about delegation assume you’re still present. You know what needs to be done, you can anticipate decisions, and you can step in if something unexpected comes up. Even when you delegate well, you’re still hovering close enough to influence the outcome.
Being fully out removes that option.
