This is delegation but on a cross functional level. I've written a lot about delegation for a single department point of view, but your article highlights the importance of delegation at the upper management ranks. Interesting insight and highlights the tough responsibilities of doing upper management well.
This is common in a number of industries, especially the Building Industry where success relies on input from many specialities. We've found success in implementing intense collaboration where everyone is in the room together working on collaborative ideas to reduce cost and time while improving the quality of the constructed object. It's called Integrated Project Delivery based on principles of Lean - shared risk & reward. It also ends up being fun and strengthening trust.
Thank you, Kathleen. I’ve learned something new today. I’d never come across Integrated Project Delivery before, and from your description, it sounds like a great approach. I’ll read more about it and possibly present it to my teams. It really resonates with my values.
Misalignment stops even the best ideas in their tracks. I find often the reason for misalignment is fear of the unknown due to lack of documentation behind the why.

That's a great achievement Rob, doing it for a department.
It’s incredibly frustrating when structural issues are framed as personnel ones.
Right work, role roles, right people, right process.
If any of those things are missing then of course there’s going to be conflict. Misalignment is the number one generator of inefficiency.
And now with AI, some believing will sort out their structural issues, only make the inefficiency more visible.
Thank you.

This happens and I have noticed in places where knowledge is hoarded.
