This is only good advice for the most senior people or anyone who has unquestionable trust from their management/leadership.
Turns out if you're not one of those people, at review time nobody values this behaviour.
It's only "what did you deliver".
So yes, it's important to train, document, and delegate. It's valuable. You should do it.
But if you still have yet to earn trust or a reputation, and you want to actually exceed expectations and be known as the type of performer that gets things done, you have to lean in a little more into delivery and a little less into all the instructions on this page.
