Reading this HBS article warmed my heart. Can't count the number of times someone with a fancy title and a nice office has told me they are a "big picture" person and they leave the details to their staff. Which implies they are above the operations grind - the realm of those with limited mental abilities. There is always the insinuation that if a person could see and think "big picture" shit they would never be left to just run operations.
It has also been my experience over the years that these big picture folk are often unable to make good decisions that relate to turning their "vision" a reality. Never having been close to the actual work that it takes to make that happen, they have no radar for bullshit. So a very small fragment of that exalted picture ever comes to life. The best leaders are those who can do both strategy and execution and I have seen a few of those too. They are a pleasure to work with and they are able to drive their vision to reality.
crossings as in traversals, contradictions, counterpoints of the heart though often not..
