> you absolutely have to be involved in all levels of your business if you want to be successful
But it does sound like your dad is a very effective delegator and has given a lot of autonomy to people in the business - a skill you definitely need to be highly sucessfull in business.
So, maybe... stay involved at all levels, then find people who are good at a role (that you trust) and give them autonomy... and the you don't have to stay in the weeds for all roles any more?
To the parent comment's point, maybe the receipt checking part could have gone that route, but there was never any one who was right for a role like that in the business?
