US Army. We call this communicating intent. The idea is to allow subordinate commanders freedom to accomplish the goals of their boss. The strength of this approach is that things can change between the issue of tasks and the completion of those tasks. Instead of having the subordinate leader wait for additional guidance or confirmation they are allowed to adjust their approach immediately without permission to meet the demands of the changing environment.
