"Auto-pilot in management" refers to a state where management processes or decision-making operate with minimal conscious input or oversight, often relying on established routines, systems, or delegation. While automation and predictability can improve efficiency, over-reliance on "auto-pilot" in management might lead to complacency, reduced innovation, or missing critical changes in a dynamic environment. Effective managers strike a balance between leveraging automation and staying actively engaged in decision-making and strategic oversight.
