It’s impossible to get into the details on every project. Doing so would be exhausting, paralysing, and overwhelming.
So we need to know—and choose—when to be myopic.
I know there are some projects I can’t afford to let slip; so I get into the details on those ones.
But for others, I’m learning how to be comfortable with the 100 ft view, and trusting that my team is well set up for each of us take a separate area of responsibility.
Realising that we don’t need to be myopic on everything is freeing.
