The latter really just to let me know if there have been any particular disasters during the day, or if there's anything of note to report. I care more about the former, to be honest - and even that, to an extent, only to reassure me that everyone is alive and actually available to do some work. Of course it varies a little day by day and task by task - some things need more careful planning and coordination. I should clarify that I mention eight hours only in the nominal sense of meaning that they get the requisite allocated work done - if they are able to work quickly and it only takes four hours, well, more power to them. I feel like I'm pretty relaxed about this stuff, but I guess from the downvotes others disagree...
