I agree with Mr.Ahmed Mohamed answer, the board members, because board members is mainly a share holder that doesn't have the full picture on how the company functions. They set goals and revenue based on forecasts but not always involved in the company major functions.

:  the higher you go in the organization, the more leaders tend to be out of touch, while the “savviest” leaders are at the grassroots level.  That’s because the closer you are to the grassroots level, where the organization “percolates,” the closer you are to reality.  Organizational reality lies with the people who do the organization’s work.  They deal with the clients, struggle with the budgets, solve most of the problems—and are privy to the grapevine.  Higher up leaders are likely to be insulated from many of these grassroots realities due to constant meetings, responsibilities away from the organization, fund-raising, and on and on.  Even worse, leaders typically are cut out of the everyday grapevine simply because they are authority figures.  Without a doubt, the biggest challenge leaders face is staying in touch with their own organization.
