“The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint to keep from meddling with them while they do it.”
— Theodore Roosevelt

Simplified Meaning:
A good leader knows how to choose the right people for the job. They understand who has the necessary skills and talents. Once these people are chosen, the leader trusts them to do their work without interfering. Imagine a coach who picks the best players for the team. The coach trusts the players to use their skills during the game without telling them exactly how to play each moment. This kind of trust allows the team to work effectively and with confidence. For anyone leading a project, it's important to let capable team members do their job without unnecessary oversight, which lets them do their best work.
