Supervisors need only concern themselves with attaining good ORM communication with their subordinates not what comes down from the upper chain-of-command?

While good ORM (Operational Risk Management) communication between supervisors and their subordinates is essential, it is equally important for supervisors to align with directives from the upper chain of command. Effective ORM requires a holistic approach that integrates both top-down guidance and bottom-up feedback. Ignoring the upper chain can lead to misalignment on priorities and risk management strategies, potentially compromising overall operational effectiveness. Therefore, a balance between these two aspects is crucial for successful ORM implementation.
