I think his point isn’t that delegating is bad but that some organisations are managed bottom-up instead of top-down.

Instead of the strategy being enforced top down, managers ask their reports what they’ll do, they do the same, all the way down the chain until you reach ICs.

Effectively ICs (lowest paid members) are running the show.

100%, the title reflects a shallow representation of the post, where it says: "Founders make mistakes of hiring corporate liars to run the show".

The article basically tries to cover, how it's not actually founder mode or manager mode; it's just the right leader mode. Delegation w/o trust is a sign of bad leadership. What do you think?
