I love this reframing here! I did my Positive Intelligence training a few years ago, and this is such a good reminder that the Judge loves a metric…even when we’re measuring the wrong thing 🤭
The part I’d push further is this:- doing it yourself often looks efficient only because we’re measuring the wrong timeframe. A manager may save 20 minutes today by taking the task back, but lose months of future capacity because nobody else gets to build the judgement to own it. Sometimes the imperfect first attempt is the price of creating a team that eventually needs you less.
Love the duck part - so true and helpful! Going to keep that one!

100% agree. Sometimes, the best way to lead is to allow someone else to do it.
