In defense of micromanagement Delegation is over-rated, micro-management is under-rated and misunderstood. Zuck talks about this “probably one of my most controversial leadership or management things is I don’t actually believe in delegating that much. I kinda think like the way a founder should work is you should basically make as many decisions and get involved as in as many things as you can” Every great founder in my experience does the above - see Elon or Jensen Huang. They are in the details – every technical nuance, every financial model’s implications, every pixel. I rarely see a great company run in any other way. The natural question that gets asked is: doesn’t this make every leader below them unhappy? I’ll answer this empirically: look at the core leadership team of any of these companies and you’ll see they have the same set of people for many, many years

I suspect the wisdom is in knowing when to zoom in and become hyper-involved in any specific thing and when to zoom back out to only tracking it at a high level so your attention can go elsewhere.

Very much so. But the upside of having the entire stack in your head is huge.

Brian Chesky mentioned that the most surprising thing about being in the details is how much less work it became. When you’re proactively managing the details you spend less time reactively getting surprised by them and playing catch up
