When we do #space #engineering the only proper answer for questions like “who has to be in charge of something” or “who has to handle a situation” is — “the one who need it”.

@nk you're talking about pushing decisions down to the lowest level?
@2ck I believe it's a universal approach, although I don't see that a system that requires "pushing" anything and where are "levels" can sustain with high efficiency for a long period. People don't like to be pressed and don't like when there is someone above who can force them to do anything against their will.
@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
@2ck Then again, a decision have to be made by those who need it, right?
So, you mean there is a tree-like structure and you just let low-level employees make decisions?
Then why do we need those high-level employees?
