A business school grad student once offered me, with enthusiasm, an article about an (unidentified) senior manager whose division was the most successful at the company, despite the fact that he was rarely in the office and spent most of his time playing golf. (That’s great, if you like golf.)
His secret was never explicitly specified, but it appeared to be that he simply told his chief subordinates to figure everything out for themselves instead of taking orders from him. That left unanswered the question of, why was he needed at all?
