As a leader, you are always going to get a combination of two things: What you create and What you allow.

Henry Cloud
About This Quote

There is a common misconception that some people have that leaders never get anything done on their own, but rather they rely on the ideas of others. This is not the case, however. Regardless of what you may hear, great leaders are always making decisions and solving problems on their own. The more you allow people around you to help, or give them free reign to run things on their own, the better and more effective your leadership will be.
