Successful leaders do not seek to control their employees but empower them to make decisions that are in the best interest of the company. They provide context, which enables decision making to be dispersed across the company. However, dispersed decision making can only be successful if the company hires and retains only the most exceptional employees, and gives them the information they need to take responsibility for their decisions. To retain top employees, customers should compensate them according to their value, and implement a culture of trust, transparency, and actionable feedback loops.
