WHAT’S WRONG WITH THAT? That is EXACTLY the way proper management works. It is a poor executive that does the work of his underlings and then expects something new when briefed by his advisers. Why have advisers at all? It also DEFEATS the purpose (of good management) to DELEGATE tasks to others and expect briefings from them so that you can concentrate on your duties and responsibilities.
Exactly so.
It also very importantly allows for the executive to change direction, reassign priorities, and to force coordination with various rice bowl holders. Cuts through the froth.
The bigly picture....
