@nk hmm. i wasn't thinking of "pushing" in a coercive sense. just, letting decisions happen at the lowest level that there's enough info

@nk I said, "lowest level *that there's enough info*". that's not always the lowest level in the company. if you have a group that works on a factory line, they're not likely to have info about several factories across the business. they might have knowledge of some of it, but it's not their job or responsibility to know how all the factories operate, so asking them to make decisions for all of the factories doesn't make sense. contrariwise, the CEO probably doesn't know the work orders coming through the factory or the employee vacation schedule, so directly conducting how the factory operates is usually less effective, and a poor use of the executive's time
