In this short monologue, the speaker outlines a practical framework for managers to delegate decision‑making and free up their own time. The core idea is to make the decision‑making level explicit for each issue. Level 1: the leader makes the final call after gathering team input. Level 2: the leader provides input but the team makes the final decision. Level 3: the team decides entirely on its own, having been trained to think like the leader. By consistently applying these three tiers, managers can clarify expectations, empower their teams, and regain personal bandwidth.

I don't need to know a thing about it because I train them to think how I in that case.
