macro-management
Strategic, hands-off leadership
Macro-management is an approach to oversight that focuses on big-picture strategy and outcomes rather than day-to-day details.
A macro-manager sets goals and delegates execution, trusting subordinates to handle specifics: She believed in macro-management—hire good people and let them work.
The term contrasts with micromanagement, its controlling opposite.
