The 10% Rule for Decision Making and Delegation
The 10% rule emphasizes that when making decisions or delegating tasks, it is essential to revisit at least 10% of them to ensure progress and growth. This principle suggests that if decisions are not revisited, it indicates a lack of agility in shipping products quickly, insufficient delegation of responsibilities, and limited opportunities for junior team members to demonstrate their potential. By allowing individuals to make mistakes (up to 10%), providing feedback, and promoting rapid learning, organizations can accelerate career progression and compress the timeline for individuals to reach senior roles. Embracing the 10% error margin fosters a culture of autonomy, learning, and growth, where individuals are encouraged to take on challenges, learn from their mistakes, and evolve into more senior positions at an accelerated pace.
