On the other hand, maybe it's because you trained them so well they are capable of making their own decisions!

I gauge my relevance by involvement. How much are my superiors bringing to me for input or resolution. Also, how much are my subordinates bringing to me because it is not solvable at their level and they have confidence that I will advocate for the best solution for the unit and all of its' members. Both of these should be a direct reflection of past and current performance.

I would strongly agree with this statement. I really felt positive and confident in my role when seniors would come to me for my input relating to my particular field. Same goes for the soldiers under me. While I do train them to help solve their own or each others problems, I do not expect them to be able to solve it all. I do expect them to handle what they can at their level. Usually if I am brought in on an issue, it's because I have skills or knowledge not available at their level and I try my hardest to ensure the unit and my subordinates recieve the best resolution.

Do you provide a Vision and leadership examples for your organization and employees?
Are you measuring how you and your team performs and comparing this is established SMART (Specific Measureable Attainable Realistic Time bound) goals?
Does your boss come to you to delegate tasks and resolve customer problems? Do your employees come to you with the difficult questions they have struggled with and request your opinion on potential solutions and how to resolve?
