This advice is for a very specific situation: when there is time pressure to get something done, staff to do it, and the end product has to be thought through more upfront than iterated towards. You’ll recognize this isn’t always the case in tech. Your startup may not know what to build yet and is simply exploring the problem space as quickly as possible; your team may not be staffed up yet; your team may be staffed and very senior, which requires a peer relationship instead of delegation; etc. The skill of a good leader is to match their approach to the situation.
