Study too much spoils the brain?

Top management sees macro, plans strategically, looks far far ahead. That's good.

But what I don't understand is that they will think and plan so much at the high level the BIG picture and will always want to roll plans out fast. Then the people at the bottom will have to struggle and grabble with the details which is a tedious process.

They think of the big picture but have no time with the details (which is understandable) but don't they realise the implementation at the end of the day requires lots of details to be settled and put in place. Before everything is discussed properly, the plan has to get out. I don't know why they have to rush everything.

Things are only thought through at the higher level then they say it's time to implementation and roll out and send the administrators at the lower level to 'die'!

How did organisations (even the big and supposedly prestigious ones) like this survive still? Well, the organisations survive but the 'labourers' didn't. But do the top care? Likely not. It's never their fault and problem, anyway.

It's very tiring to work in such environment.
