The Director in the Wrong Decisions
The business depends too much on you and you cannot step away from daily operations. You review proposals an agent could handle. You manage minor incidents the team should resolve alone. Meanwhile, decisions only you can make wait. They always wait. The problem is not lack of time. It is being in the wrong decisions.
The Four Positions of the Director
Lead — high impact and irreversible decisions: hiring, signing key contracts, defining strategy. You must be here without exception.
Coach — high impact and reversible: your role is not to decide but to ask the right questions and let your team develop their judgment.
Systematize — low impact and irreversible: build protocols so they execute well without your presence.
Delegate — low impact and reversible: this quadrant should leave your desk as fast as possible.
