Great post! A tough thing to learn for managers.

I read about the 10/50/99% feedback framework some time ago and think it's great, specially when managing junior and mid-level people as well as for new/uncertain tasks.

Also, Dan Martell, author of 'Buy back your time' explains the concept of transformational leadership to avoid doing the work and not delegating. He usually says that "75% done by others is great". Highly recommended.

This was a brilliant read! I have been practicing some form of it so it was nice to be validated. I loved the concept of being an IC without owning IC! I believe in the player-coach mentality, providing context, and getting people excited.

A few things that have worked for me: 1) Provide a sample of the work as a starting point so they have an artifact to compare their work against. 2) Walk them through my feedback and thought process so they have decision-making framework for edge cases they may come across in future similar work.
