Don't call

From the 2005 June 27 issue of Fortune, article title How I make decisions:
Some things today - cellphones and e-mail - are not healthy for growing leaders. Before cellphones, if the boss was away, the next person in line had to make a decision. It was either right or it was wrong, but you had to accept responsibility. You learned and grew from that. Now it's too easy to call for advice. Senior leaders have to start saying,"Look, if it's not dying or burning, don't call me."
