I love simple frameworks like this. I think there is an interesting parallel with directions a manager must communicate. Up, out, and down. Up, meaning that you are able to understand the goals and mission of the organization at a deep level, including questioning new directions to make sure you understand how they align. Out, meaning you need to work with peers and indirect reports, leveraging relationships to get things done as a team. Down, in that you need to hold your team accountable, or better yet, help them hold themselves accountable.
