What is one to do when a manager does not provide autonomy and also insists on paying attention to detail?

&gt; There is also the tendency to establish more and more levels of management, on the theory that this gives better control. These are but different forms of shared responsibility, which easily lead to no one being responsible—a problems that often inheres in large corporations as well as in the Defense Department.<p>Observations from 1982, relevant even in 2023.

Managers taking responsibility for anything going wrong is basically taboo today. Weird to see people even mention that even in the past.

It’s a shame that people like Rickover and the ideal leader he describes are nearly an extinct species in government, military, and civilian life.
