Trust your people. Make sure they feel safe (not afraid) to make decisions and take action.

It drastically reduces the need for management. It makes people feel happier about their work, raises quality and reduces employee turnover rates. It makes it simpler to keep high skill people, which in turn makes it easier to recruit high skill people.

The counter argument I run across is that the mistake rate will increase. But that is simply not true. Through all my data I have never seen that happen. Generally the mistake rate goes down, and the cost of mistakes goes down a lot. And the cost of all actions goes down since fewer people are needed.

Couple this with transparency, asynchronous communication and decision making, and you have drastically reduced your company's management overhead, increased speed, increased well being, increased innovation, etc.
