This "meddling" BS is starting to get way over-blown around here. Owners set the mandate for the organization and management carries that out. If big decision that can alter the course of the organization needs to be made, ownership is definitely going to get involved. This is how things work in every single organization whether it's the coffee shop around the corner, a multinational Oil and Gas company or the Calgary Flames.
For example, I work in management for a medium sized EPC here in Calgary and have autonomy with all the small day to day things such as resource allocation, reporting to clients, etc. But this week I worked in a team on a major proposal to do work for a new client. That team included several senior Engineers, myself, the VP and President of the company.
I think if you don't understand this, you have either never worked, or are being wilfully ignorant.
