Key Points

Trying to do everything yourself in leadership is like mowing a lawn with a pair of scissors.
A critical shift for leaders to make is “time of possession” in the conversation. Work to have the other party speaking more.
The answers people give to my questions are the answers to their own questions.
Delegating well means that more time emerges to support others with skill development.
Making time to be present for people also allows you more time for deep work.
