At higher management levels people are trying to "achieve" some goals and of course "agile" means that you are constantly evaluating what to achieve and discarding some of it while perhaps adding new things. There's less agility higher up because I think it takes too long for any of those goals to be proven stupid (or proven smart) so it's waterfall ontop and agile underneath and that's obviously a clash.
