You have to get at their values, abilities, and skills: Do they have a track record of excellence in what you're expecting them to do? Have they done the thing you want them to do successfully at least three times? (2/4)
If not, you're making a lower-probability bet, so you want to have really good reasons for doing so. That doesn't mean you should never allow yourself or others to do anything new; of course you should. But do it with appropriate caution and with guardrails. (3/4)
