Maintaining a broad perspective in planning allows the senior leader to:

• A. Micromanage every detail
• B. Focus on daily tasks
• C. Ensure compliance without discovering gaps

Micromanaging, focusing only on daily tasks, or pursuing compliance without uncovering gaps pulls attention away from the bigger picture and can leave holes unaddressed. The best approach is to identify weaknesses in the plan and fill those gaps before moving forward.
