What is the reflection learned from this saying?
While we say that God is in the details, we cant afford to micromanage and stall the progress of the companies. We cant continue admiring the daisies while uprooting the roots
While others may interpret it the other way, sin of omission can have grave consequences, over thriftiness, over detail can have the same consequences.
I have seen some "leaders" managers over manage and over control stifling initiative and resourcefulness among its people. There was this retail and food establishment whose top management (its board) was literally the CEO, dictating the accounting policies and inventory system which were not practical and not in accordance with existing practices. They belong to another profession and try to pretend they know-it-all. Without investing in a POS system and without considering that there is batch production involved, they want every item counted and the poor staff does nothing but count and no longer gives service to the customer. For want of counting, the business could be lost.
Are you running business this way? Be aware
Are you micromanaging? Are you acting your position in the organization. Are you the chairman, and act as if the CFO? Are you over managing (enemy of lean system) and counter productive in cost reduction
