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

• I handed this to "the team" without naming one clear owner, and now everyone assumes someone else has it
• I lay down a rule and my kids ignore it because it’s "my" rule they had no say in
• My team only performs when I’m watching, and I keep bolting on more rules to control it, which just makes everything rigid
• 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 either throw someone in too deep and watch them flounder, or I keep a hand on everything long after they’ve outgrown it and can feel them getting stifled
