RE: RE: manager credibility

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

Once again, what you're describing is simply bad
management, and it doesn't change with distance.
The role of upper management is to define what kind
of widgets a company might want to make and what
sort of infrastructure and talent might be required
to to produce them, not to go out onto the floor and
supervise the day-to-day assembly of said widgets
(except, maybe, in the early stages of a startup 
where the managers are the actual designers of the 
widgets and are the only ones who know how).

I disagree. It is confusing to employees when the source 
of organizational vision (put a man on Mars, broad band 
for everyone by 2007, peace in our time, a model democracy 
in the Middle East, etc.)is the same source directing the 
assembly of a widget. They are fundamentally different activities, and mixing them is not recommended.
