Look at where work waits
If proposals, hiring decisions, customer exceptions and internal priorities all stop at your desk, the bottleneck is visible. You do not need a personality test to find it.
Autonomy needs boundaries
People can only own decisions they understand. Clear decision rights, expected outcomes and escalation rules make autonomy safer.
Build an operating rhythm
Regular review is different from constant intervention. The goal is to create enough visibility for a leader to inspect progress without taking the work back.
A business that needs the owner for every important decision has scale in revenue before it has scale in management.
