so let's talk, since you're a CEO. https://twitter.com/rwang0/status/1247365764031496192
imagine you're running an enterprise with 50 departments/employees/whatever.
and you say "Ok, folks, our mission is to do a thing."

and your departments reply "Great! How should we accomplish this thing?"
and you reply to them "Go out and make sure you get it done. You have your mission."
Just how quickly do you think that'll happen? Do you think it will be a concerted effort? I mean, hopefully they're smart enough to sit down and talk about what needs to be done, but let's say some departments don't like other departments and they won't necessarily work w/ them.
oh yeah, time is of the essence. if you fail your mission, people will die.

but go ahead, make sure everyone has to have meetings to decide on strategy and tactics instead of actually working.
also, let's talk about resource usage.

do you really think it's efficient for each department to spend resources on their own strategy and tactics, or would it be better to provide a common strategy and a tactics playbook they could choose from?
which is more efficient?
instead, what we have is management making backroom side deals to enrich themselves while failing their customers and primary stakeholders.

does that seem like good management to you? really?
