Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I put someone on the hook for the result but kept all the real decisions and the budget myself, so now they have to come ask my permission for every little thing and the whole thing crawls and stalls.
• I’ve got a new hire starting and the lazy move is to just hand them whatever’s piled up in the backlog
• I keep dropping problems on my boss’s desk and waiting for them to tell me what to do, and I can feel it reads as me not owning my work
• My boss took a real chance on me and advocated for me, and I just took it and moved on without ever closing the loop
• I think my boss is about to make the wrong call and I’m biting my tongue to keep the peace, then quietly stewing about it after
