Allison Maslan argues that leaders obsessed with today's tasks miss the future. Instead of micromanaging how things get done, give your team the outcome you want and let them figure it out. That's how you become a visionary leader who can actually step back as the company grows.

Do you see how much faster you can go if you're focused on the future of the company? These are the ideas. You're the visionary. You think of Amazon. Jeff Bezos was never focused on today. He was only focused on future. And that's it. So you're going to empower your team with the outcome you want, not with all the solutions. You just want them to know what where you want to be and let them figure that out. That's what you pay them for. And so that you can then fully step in to being the visionary of the company. And when you're in phase four, the co creator, you actually can start stepping back because your vision and your values are so entrenched in the company that it's like you're there even when you're not there.
