Will Humphreys on why leaders delegate tasks but keep control, then feel frustrated when things go wrong. The real problem: some leaders get a rush from swooping in to fix it, which keeps the cycle going.

I like to delegate tasks, but not authority. What? I mean, that is such a profound statement because we've all been guilty of that as owners where we delegate things to people and we say out loud and we feel at times consciously frustrated that they can't ever get it done. There's a validation of being the person who's able to sweep down there and be a hero and they're like, "Wow, you're so smart." "No, it's just whatever." We go back to being frustrated about why we're stuck.
