[Verse 1] DevOps calls a meeting, deployment's running late InfoSec says "slow down, you're tempting cyber fate" Two managers are puzzled, each thinks their team is right While friction builds in shadows, just outside their sight [Chorus] Skip across the silos, see what lies between Cross-functional vision shows what can't be seen When teams are grinding gears, and blame starts to collide Only senior eyes can spot the pattern hiding wide [Verse 2] DevOps tells the big boss, "Change control's too slow" InfoSec whispers upward, "They resist what they should know" Same story, different angles, surfacing the pain Skip-level conversations make the problem crystal plain [Chorus] Skip across the silos, see what lies between Cross-functional vision shows what can't be seen When teams are grinding gears, and blame starts to collide Only senior eyes can spot the pattern hiding wide [Bridge] No single manager holds the telescope that's wide enough To catch the repetition in the cross-departmental stuff But leaders doing skip-levels across both teams discover Structural intervention beats the blame game cover [Verse 3] Redesign the process, don't let warriors clash Senior sight sees solutions, stops the tribal thrash Multi-function overview beats the tunnel view Skip-level intel builds the bridge that pulls us through [Chorus] Skip across the silos, see what lies between Cross-functional vision shows what can't be seen When teams are grinding gears, and blame starts to collide Only senior eyes can spot the pattern hiding wide [Outro] Skip-level magic captures what no manager can see Cross-functional friction dissolves with clarity
