Day to day decisions made by manegers - Mangers need to make hundreds of mini decisions every day. They can't consult their people all the time, therefore they need to make their decisions alone, and in seconds. To be able to do that, mangers need to understand in many areas, to get good decisions. Ben Horowitz suggested a solution to this problem and wrote that mangers need to meet their people often, and talk with them, and try to understand what they do. Mangers should regularly set one-on-one meetings, and learn what their people do and how they think about problems. They need to meet not just the high level administration, but with all levels of the organization[1].
The manager (red) meets with her employees on a regular basis for one on one meetings and learn from them about their work. Through this process she increases her SON and her employees SON (light blue) and all can get more SON-based decisions, without the need to consult with his employees for every decision
