That&#x27;s where chain-of-command and executive decisions come into play. In an army field manual for tactics, it states that each level in the hierarchy of a chain of command should be responsible for a certain level of the battlefield; the Commander in Chief decides who to go to war against, the general decides which city is a priority, his liutenants decide how to assault the city, the sergeants decide which building to run to, and the private decides how to get to that building in a timely manner.<p>Most businesses do not do this. They rely entirely on decisions from higher up, which are often uninformed about small-picture things, even if they understand the big picture.
