The way I’ve heard this advice phrase is that growth is bottlenecked by the number of people you can fully trust. Trust zero people? You’re gonna have to manage every detail yourself. Trust one person? Now you and they can manage every detail within your scope. And so on.
Partial trust is not as good, because you’ll still have to check up on some thing, and you often need a lot of context to check up on even a few details of another person’s work. The difference between 95% trust and 100% trust is huge.
