As a manager - you don't have to know HOW everything is done, but you need to have a very solid understanding of what is being done - which means you can't always have your head in the clouds focusing on the big picture - from time to time, you need to get involved in the "worker-bees" tasks to develop an understanding - this is especially crucial in small-business environments. Thanks for the comment Lauren! Leaders not knowing what their team is doing is the absolute worst case scenario.

I give people the tools, like Emily here, to succeed moving forward. I may do the design for her and most of the grunt work, but when the dust settles my hope is that she knows how to take the tools I gave her and push forward.
