One of the greatest tokens of responsibility granted is the trust to get your work done on your own time. One of my favorite mentors told me early on, "I don't care when you work, as long as the work gets done."
The work always got done under that kind of leadership.

I have adopted this approach since my first team back in 2003. One of the other managers called me out on it, thinking my team wasn't "pulling its weight" so I called up the stats and sure enough, my team had been c30% up on their team in every month of the previous six.
