Too much detail dilutes management effectiveness.

If you are a detail person and a manager then it is too easy to get sucked into detailed technical debates rather than stepping back and letting people get on with it.

If a non-technical manager gets highly technical information then they just switch off and miss the key point that you wanted them to understand. If they have a low understanding of the technical world they can get panicked by info that DBAs and other techies regard as business as usual.

Alternatively you find them strangely unavailable whenever you need to speak to them.

Let them ask for more detail if they require it but find a way of asking why without sounding defensive and patronising. "If you could let me know what your end goal is then this would help me to find the salient facts".
