" Third, I started to delegate more. Most of my staff is very, very new, having only worked with me for a couple of years at most."

I faced similar situation where my hard trained staff became against me when i started delegating more work to them and transferring responsibilities to them. Only here I came to know that i had a team of people with lazy attitude.

Good in your case where you were accepted but in my case my staff went against me and resigned.

Things never go well when you want them to be WELL.
