To be a manager you must give everyone complete autonomy within a narrow bandwidth. After you get people to get their buy in on the larger vision you need to strictly define their roles in the fulfilment of that vision, then you need to set them free to do their thing. You want them to involve their creativity, not just following your orders.

It’s important to look forward into the near and far future, and make an assessment of what you truly value, so that you are not reckless with it, or so impatient that you don’t do what’s necessary to see it through to fruition.
