Carlton Calvin and the Delegation Problem

High fit

Update is about the willingness to install new ways of thinking, even when the current version feels comfortable. Carlton Calvin had been running on an old logic — that keeping sales in-house protected margin — for years. Updating meant replacing that logic with something more accurate: that reps are specialists who produce better results than a founder spread thin. He had to delete an assumption he'd held for a long time before he could install the new one.
