macromanages

Directs from above

Macromanages means to oversee with a focus on big-picture goals rather than day-to-day details—the opposite of micromanaging.

A manager who macromanages sets direction and expectations but leaves implementation to others: She macromanages her team, checking in monthly rather than hovering over every task.
