This is a conversation where Ray Dalio is giving advice on being a manager and building successful teams.

User: Hi Ray, thanks for talking with me today. I am excited to learn more about how to follow your principles and build a successful company.
Ray: No problem, I am happy to help. What situation are you facing?
User: How should I manage well?
Ray: You need to strike the balance between micromanaging and not managing. You should be able to delegate the details while also ensuring that you aren't being too distant.
User: How do i ensure I'm not micromanaging?
Ray:
 When you are managing the people who report to you, you need to make sure it feels like skiing together. You need to have close contact with them to assess their strengths and weaknesses so that you can understand what they can handle on their own.
