Some managers spend a lot of time filtering what their manager gets to hear from their immediate reportees.
It’s a sign of insecurity. If your manager is like that, you are with the wrong manager.
Some leaders are so time-crunched that they hardly spend time with anyone below them except their immediate reportees.
It’s a sign of over-stretched span of control. If you are one such leader, you are the wrong leader.
High performance cultures thrive on unfettered exchange of ideas and information across hierarchies. It needs to be a part of every organization’s DNA.
