John,

No, you are not being delusional. You are a Department Manager. Relinquish your control over your departments activities at risk of being deemed irrelevant. Andrew, this is not just a matter of pleasing the customer. It is also a matter of preserving your job and authority.

My view, of course. As is the case in all free advise, you may discard it at will.

Scott


Andrew,

Even though you're an independent business, you're just like my department
in that you provide a service. My idea is to provide a product. As the Tech
Comm Manager, I would be in charge of developing that product to the best of
my professional capability, just like the widget project manager is in
charge of developing his product to the best of his professional capability.
We'd both take input from each other and various interested parties, but in
the end, make our own decisions about the best way to implement. Am I being
delusional?
