Actually, I can answer that one for Bart. You're confusing "delegate" with "abdicate". Of course you delegate. You have to. I can't check every freq on the radio, I can't personally check every foxhole on the NDP, etc., but my Company Commanders and Platoon Leaders sure did.
I delegated everything I could. But my one hard and fast rule was that my XO knew his job,
and mine, inside and out. When he, or the CSM spoke, they were speaking for me - and everyone knew it.
How'd I do Bart?
