What suggestions do you have for management?

"If this questions continues to refer to the IRS, then my observation was that managers extensively conducting/attending meetings, which is great from a communication stance. However, I was always curious as to how does the agency think that managers are to manage if they keep them away from their employees to manage. This statement also depends upon the level of the manager. In other words, if the manager is at the executive level, more than likely he/she will be extensive travel status and/or meetings. I feel reason being is that executives are responsible for the political aspects of executing and enforcing agency business practices."
