The primacy of big picture literacies

Each team in organizations optimally performs and grows when everyone shares big picture marketing, financial, operational and technical literacies. Organizational leaders in these areas make sure knowledge in these areas stays transparent, digestable and accessible by teams. Team leaders help their teams form and pursue their questions about the status on each area.

People only contribute to a big picture to the extent they know it and keep up with it. People can't contribute if they lack real time clarity in the organization's markets, finances, operations and technologies. 

Organizations that don't make this a priority maintain slow cultures of micromanaging that keep engagement and growth low. Teams flourish when they have big picture literacies.
