When I started hiring contractors, I made a critical mistake: if their first mockup wasn’t great, or a client got unhappy, I’d step in. You need to let things blow up in people’s faces. Let them make mistakes. If you’re the middle-man jumping into the fray whenever anything goes amiss, you’ll be stuck micro-managing everyone.
