Entrepreneurs cannot avoid getting their hands dirty with the nitty-gritty. That said, decisions and the information necessary to make them should be pushed down the ranks whenever possible
Successful entrepreneurs know that their time is best spent preparing their employees for potential difficulties and helping those same employees learn from their mistakes. Only then can future mistakes be avoided.

- Routing every decision through yourself is unsustainable. Entrepreneurs that fail to evolve their management style from "doer" to "coach" will never have the resources to seek new opportunities!

Measure, But Measure Wisely

"Measurement and metrics tracking is not a decision-making tool. It is a performance indicator. The numbers neither know what you are trying to achieve nor are they the only factor in understanding performance. Do not use them that way – it is simply poor management to rely on numbers to make your decisions. Use them to assess and evaluate."

From my experience, metrics are essential to understanding if where you are spending your time is working well or not
The result of the measurement is not to dock your pay, criticize you, or indicate that you should stop blogging. It was to learn something about how you did something to improve it the next time.

We are all pretty WEIRD | Vagina Dentata

"# A recent analysis of the top journals in six sub-disciplines of Psychology from 2003-2007 revealed that 68% of subjects came from the US, and 96% of subjects were from Western industrialised countries, specifically North America, Europe, Australia, and Israel (Arnett, 2008) reflecting the academics country of residence.
# This means that 96% of psychological samples come from countries with only 12% of the world’s population.
# And a randomly selected American undergraduate is more than 4000 times more likely to be a research participant than is a randomly selected person from outside of the West."
