a.k.a Pigeon CEO. Found on a recent HN comment [1] describing Elon Musk's management style [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40678396 https://news.ycom

  To be fair the purpose of hierarchy is to delegate execution, and evaluating and communicating any nuance or challenge involved in aligning micro-executive realities with macro-strategic goals is the responsibility of senior management. So many people criticize Musk, and many criticisms are probably well reasoned, but IMHO the general line of criticism "he doesn't hang around to sweat the details" is exceptionally naive given the scope of his businesses. His job is perhaps 40% politics and macro-economics, 50% shareholder perception management, and 10% actual leadership.
