Literally the only two things leadership should do to be above the mean:
1. Clearly define a vision for the future/ goal(s) that should be achieved
2. Get out of the fucking way of your minions, and trust that you hired correctly, to let them figure out how to get to the finish line
Bonus Points:
3. Your temperament is in the Goldilocks' zone of neither being too much of a spendthrift, nor too much of a miser, when setting budgets, i.e. you're not some rando without P&L experience that was tied to your bonuses.
