can't see the forest for the trees stories

There was a project manager who was constantly worried about the daily tasks of each team member. She would check every single email sent by the team, correct every small mistake in the reports immediately.

Because she was too immersed in the day - to - day details (the trees), she overlooked the big - picture progress (the forest) of the project.

They might spend hours on a single paper, making sure every little detail is right, but then forget that they also need to study for exams and participate in other activities to get good grades overall. Another example is a business owner who is so concerned with the day - to - day operations like dealing with individual customer complaints or minor inventory issues that they don't see the big picture of market trends and new opportunities. They might be losing customers because they are not evolving with the market while they are stuck in the trees of daily tasks.
