I was reading the book "It's ok to be the boss" by Bruce Tulgan and learned a new term. Undermanagement. It's the opposite of "micro-manage" when you thing about how we manage people. At times, I am guilty of undermanagement. I get so busy working on my own work and forget to manage. Time quickly passes and small problems that started a few days ago are now much bigger and start to take over control of my day. Had I only spent a little time in the right area, I could have prevented that small problem from getting out of control and now I have a crisis on my hand.

Great Post! This is a very prevelant problem. I have seen companies eliminate entire levels of management and the result is tha the people below them are left with no direction or direction by people who don't have the big picture.
