> Another requirement for this to work well is that management (e.g. the CEO or other leaders) are able to lay down a broad strategy for the people of the company to execute on. If the leadership has no strategy then tactical decisions can not be made properly. They also need to make sure there's coordination and structure.
In my experience this isn't a core requirement so much as the ability to discern if a proposed strategy is good or not based on first hand experience. In other words, the ability to spot very well written bullshit yourself without relying on anyone else's perception of it being bullshit or not. If you need to rely on other people's opinions or the way a proposal is written or something else then it will not work. It's very rare for this to be the case at a larger or public company. Even if the CEO has this ability if the board doesn't then it will be the same.
