Perhaps you’re really good at the job. Hard charging. Focused on every interaction and staying in control. It’s easy to justify the hard work because you refuse to settle.
It turns out that your community is here and ready to contribute. When you give others the resources, trust and commitment to do the work, the work gets done. Sometimes, it even gets done better than you could have done it (if you had had the time and focus, which you don’t).
If scale is the goal, your control over each interaction has to loosen. The job of the leader is to create the conditions for others to raise the standards.
Trusting your team isn’t settling for less. It’s settling for better.
