The 10-80-10 Principle is one of the best ways for visionaries and strategic leaders to delegate.
Here it is. For any big project, divide the entire 100% process into three sections: (10-80-10) Pour yourself, the leader, into the first 10% in order to get the project started on the right track. Then hand off the middle 80% to the team of integrators. After the team has taken the project almost to completion, dive back in again and help with the final 10%.
A similar process to piloting a plane. The crucial parts of the flight are the takeoff and landing. They’re the most dangerous, and the most complicated.
