To have fewer levels the most senior leadership needs a pure vision that is clearly articulated so that everyone can row in the same direction without a legion of taskmasters enforcing order. At most large orgs I’ve worked at, the ICs never hear anything directly from managers just two levels above them, let alone four or five. It’s a bucket chain of misinterpretations, personal agendas, and Chinese whispers.
