Reagan is far from alone among Presidents in his reluctance to do what corporate managers are expected to do almost routinely.

...Merrill Lynch, he has set up a hierarchical structure that puts him alone atop the upward flow of information. Combined with Reagan's inclination to rely on his staff to sort out options, Regan's management style has earned him a reputation as the most powerful presidential adviser since Sherman Adams ran the White House under Dwight Eisenhower...
