I wonder if there is not an element of trust (either in others or in one’s own ability to assess others) is not part of the skill set/attitude for executive nature.
The most competent executive/managers I’ve worked with don’t seem to think they have to solve every planning level themself even though the do take ownership of the results. I wonder if simply being will to say “the buck stop here” even when a lot of the work and planning (outside some strategic level planning—which I think is what successful startups get right) is delegated to others.
Yes, this is a good point. Confidence in delegation is probably a panic reducing factor. In a way delegating to one’s future self can be viewed as a special case.
