Yes, good points all. It's also one of the hardest things to do when it's your business. I've been running my company for over 15 years. It's STILL hard to let go sometimes.
The best you can do is try, and ask your employee's forgiveness when you slide back into micromanaging.
One good way to move the process along: Never let an employee come to you with a problem unless they have 2 possible solutions. The solutions can be ridiculous, but they need to have 'em.
It gets them involved in the decision-making process from the get-go, and tends to prompt discussions among team members before you, the manager, has to get involved.
