I feel trying to structure everything "perfectly" is just micro-management and is never going to be close to "perfect" for the usual reasons top-down everything never is. My general thoughts are:

• Employees should feel they are achieving autonomy, mastery and purpose. They'll work out all the details themselves if they're motivated and empowered to do so.
• To that effect teams should be able to do their end-to-end work without being blocked by/dependent on other teams 80% of the time. Not for 80% of each piece of work but 80% of pieces of work they put into production.
• The vision of the company/department and what rough path is being taken towards that vision (metrics, projects, goals, etc.) should be crystal clear to everyone.
• Incentives (promotions, yearly reviews, bonuses, etc.) at a corporate level should correlate with driving forward business value versus bureaucratic box checking.
