Set and define high expectations. Set the parameters. Success is measured by how far you exceed your goals. Support without reservation. Impart the knowledge, attitude, and skills neccessary for subordinates to emulate your style while developing and implementing their own on their path to success. Kep communication open, exhibit and develop trust. Maintain an override position in critical areas; define areas of collaboration and roles/relationships from the outset; maintain administrative authority but lean toward collaborative/democratic team mindset and operation.
It's harder for some people than others to delegate when placed in an upper management position. With a set of interrelationships as nuanced as a football team, it demands a mature manager. I hope to see signs that McVay is progressing in that direction.
