Being in the details

Middle management is not just a communication bus. You should be making things happen.

A parked car needs no alignment. A vehicle’s need for realignment is only revealed when observing it in motion.

New senior managers who have become highly effective at managing smaller teams may overdelegate in larger organizations to the point that they require someone else to answer all of the key questions for them. This is a bug, not a feature. You need to know what your org is doing if you are accountable for it.

Which requires some kind of organized communication bus, which cannot be the entire job.
