I have been reading a lot of content recently that encourages leaders to "go deep" and become experts in team-level details. Two examples: If you don't know the details, how do you know people are doing a good job? People think that great leader's job is to hire people and just empower them to do a good job. Well, how do you know they're doing a good job if you're not in the details?
In short, the current emphasis on "going deep" and "getting into the details" is a reaction to an overreaction and overstretching of the org chart. So, it is time for a reset without over-reacting again.
Yes, spend time to understand what is happening and be a better advocate during more challenging times.
No, don’t heap on even more asks for detailed trade-offs and detailed plans, so you can play defense
