A nice perspective on delegating the work:
"Coming back to the real world and what the juggling act can teach us. If you are a Founder/CEO of a startup you spend every breathing moment in your company. Coming up with ideas, working on your product, leading your team and then you realise that you need to file your taxes. So you drop everything to do that. Or a customer reports a bug and you take off your strategic hat to go fix the bug (even though you have a very competent team of developers). You are basically dropping the chainsaws to deal with the balls. In order to be successful and inspire the ones that are around you, you need to start delegating tasks. As the leader, you are in charge of the bigger picture and the strategy, moving everyone forward to the vision. If you get stuck in the groundwork then you will be unhappy and get lost."
