Advice to Senior Management

1 You're excellent at what you do, but people besides yourselves are talented and trustworthy. Stay engaged and detail-oriented, but find ways to delegate authority so you can avoid being the bottleneck. It's risky to let others make decisions, and it's more risky to make them all yourselves.
2) Pay attention to the culture around work-life balance. This issue gets a lot of discussion, more than you may realize.
