Management

A good manager should know the art of managing at both micro as well as macro level. This helps to strike a balancce in delivery. The concept of micro/macro management to me is as follows

Micro management:
Any manager who looses the control on the details hapening under him can expect negative surprises every now and then. Like - delivery slippage, people management issues, etc. This lose of sight will eventually put him in fire fighting mode and will hamper the smooth expansion of the team. Hence some amount of micro management is necessary to keep updated on the actual pulse of the people and delivery

Macro management
At the same time, a manager should also have a birds eye view on the prospects coming through his way. For this to happen, he should be vigilant on the opportunities coming across, clear on the short term and long term goal for his unit, spend enough time every day to analyse the issues and come up with strategies to combat it in future.
