These are the people who focus on the tiny details in front of them to the exclusion of all else. These are the people who need the tyreprints of a Mack truck across their toes before they realise something has changed. One of the greatest skills a leader/manager can develop is awareness of their broader business and global environment and the ability to respond to subtle changes. They also need a really effective crystal ball for those days when you just need to thump someone over the head with something hard.

Long periods of stasis punctuated by an occasional wild flailing panic seem to be a lot easier than continuous change and reassessment.
