So on the one end, you have the manager who wrestles with Powerpoint, Project, Word, Kayak.com etc.and spends only 20% of her time working as a systems designer, her real area of expertise. On the other, you have the manager who dictates his email to be typed up by a secretary, and who reads only printouts of incoming email.

Where is the sweet spot, DIY where it makes sense, and delegating to others where that makes sense?

Only reading print outs and dictating emails sounds like a sweet mechanism for managing your time.
