Answer 1

Answer: Delegate some decision-making authority to subordinates.

Explanation:

I would advise him to reduce the work load on himself by employing more competent hands to help him with some decision making. Then occasionally, he can oversee what is been done by his employees in charge of decision making, to ensure that they are delivering what he desires.
