> Even if you've got the answer, sometimes it makes sense to let your team make the decision. There are often many right answers. Remember, your job isn't to choose a right answer, it's to ensure that the team doesn't choose a wrong answer.

Couldn't agree more. Allowing the team to own decisions as a group goes a long way toward boosting morale and giving each member a greater sense of pride and ownership. Sometimes people need subtle guidance away from poor choices, but often time, allowing people to explore options on their own-even briefly, they'll often make the right choice in the end.
