Grounded in a leadership perspective that balances team access with mission objectives, the book applies Decentralize Command through clear ownership, trust and guidance rather than leaving people guessing. Use the steps and exercises to build a plan around your team’s real requests, with the aim of recovering four hours of focused work each week.
