This is a big issue in many work places. Being a good employee and being a good employer or manager are different skill sets. Being a good business person doesn't mean you will be good in politics (no matter your political party). Being a good artist doesn't mean you can run a gallery, studio, ETSY site. A lot of failing businesses would do a lot better if the owners got out of the way.

One of my favorite examples of this is Jimmy Buffett. He has restaurants, appliances, clothes, real estate, books, and so much more. He doesn't run any of it. The secret to his success is he surrounded himself with people who are great at what they do, and then he takes care of them.

One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a restaurant GM. He said a good GM has no responsibilities other than overseeing their employees. A good GM delegates all responsibilities to those under them, and only steps in when needed. A good GM lets people do what they are good at, and then takes care of those people with everything they have.
