First, many direct reports are reluctant to challenge the boss and secondly they may, like you, be so embedded in day to day operations that it is hard to see the forest for the trees. Worst case scenario, they may also have a personal agenda that can be at odds with the long term success of the organization. Click here for more best practices.
