Delegation is crucial; as a CEO, you must balance between delegating tasks and maintaining responsibility for the outcomes of those tasks.

I don't believe in traditional delegation; instead, I prefer to be involved in key decisions across the company to ensure alignment with our goals. I try to minimize standing meetings and focus on open-ended strategy discussions and company priorities instead.

Effective delegation involves trusting your employees to make decisions rather than micromanaging them, which fosters a better work environment.

My management style is hands-on, balancing micromanagement with trust, allowing for both detailed direction and innovation from team members.

When delegating tasks, ensure the person understands the end result and provide excitement about the task to motivate them.

As an engineering manager, I communicated our long-term goals to my team, enabling them to prioritize their work independently.

The 'Shape Up' approach allows teams to take ownership of their projects by providing them with a clear understanding of the objectives and the freedom to determine how to achieve them.

As a leader, I navigate impostor syndrome and scaling challenges by maintaining a focus on impact and ensuring that my teams are aligned with our goals.

This approach fosters alignment within the team and leadership, produces better strategic framing due to diverse inputs, and results in a defensible output based on transparent selection criteria.
