When delegating work to people, think about the three or five things that make a decision as to how something is going to work, and to share that with them. To be as specific about what you want them to do, but not to tell them how to do it. This is key. If you tell people how to do things, you are going to forever be stuck with somebody following behind you with a notepad and pen asking you to be very prescriptive of what you want.
