Some jobs can't be done on the front-lines and giving too much focus on the little things will most likely inhibit you from dealing with larger strategic concerns. You need to have a good team who can synthesize and summarize the poignant insights from the details and allow you to make big decisions. That being said, this isn't the preferred career path for many (especially for those on HN, based anecdotally on the comments / attitudes I generally see in these types of threads) and that's fine. Not everyone wants or needs to be a CEO much less a strategic leader.
