I believe managing "bottom up" is at least equally important as managing reports or the team, as only in that way managers can create a proper vision and predictability for their teams. Unfortunately there are soo few books about how to manage our managers.

While people discuss with whom @elonmusk took a picture it's been already 7 days since Azerbaijan has closed #Lachin corridor & 120K people are blocked & can't receive goods and medications. It's very much disappointing to see this silence in any western news. #UnitedNations

A scaleup laid off a large % of their employees in order to get to profitability... and weeks later leadership realized they fired too many software engineers to execute, and are trying to hire them back. My take on this situation:
