Great article, this is absolutely true. My greatest managers and mentors have been the ones who delegated a domain to me without micromanaging or meddling -- it made me feel valued, as well as let me know I was fully accountable for the outcome. Meanwhile, they were free to focus on other areas of the business, or even pursue new opportunities.

This was a wake-up call for me that I needed to "hire my replacement" to give me the ability to move on.
