> Whatever you would choose to implement, you will need to have enough buy in from those middle managers and fiefdoms otherwise you will end up with heel-dragging or, worse, malicious compliance.

Even for military officers giving orders in the field, edicts don't work. You need buy-in, including earning trust in you.
