That's not good, but it's not terrible. The errors can be corrected before the work continues. If Gary and Kim had not scheduled a control point, the errors would have been perpetuated throughout the entire project. You can't do a job without the proper tools or the authority to get the job done. Providing equipment, computer software, and access to resources is an obvious step, but giving away authority is another story.
Many managers are reluctant to give up any of their authority.
If a job is to be done without your micromanagement, you must give the people doing the job the power to make decisions. If they need supplies or materials, give them a budget so that they can order what they need without having to ask for your approval for every purchase. If a job might call for overtime, give them the authority to order it. If you have to be around to make every decision, the work will get bogged down. Secret Weapon Don't micromanage.
