Lucia has hired her first subcontractors—a milestone worth celebrating. But now she's spending more time correcting their work than she is on her own, and she's starting to wonder if the whole thing is worth it. Preston and Vijay Rajendran, startup coach and author of The Funding Framework, unpack the real reason delegation breaks down and lay out a practical spectrum—from direction to deferring—that helps leaders calibrate how much oversight each person actually needs. If you've ever found yourself quietly redoing someone else's work, this one's for you.
