That’s different, though- it’s probably a rather good way to teach people that their first impulse as an officer should be delegating that which can be delegated. I’d imagine that promoted engineers today need to train themselves not to start micromanaging the sort of project they’d previously have done themselves, but rather to give it to someone capable and leave them to do it.
Which is why evenness is one of the virtues. Some candidates need to be taught to delegate. Others need to be thought to think for ten seconds before throwing their hands up. Most probably need to be taught both.
