Sorry, allow me to rephrase. I didn't meant that the manager's job is to dogpile everyone onto every issue. It was to make sure that work is being judiciously assigned to the right people, and everyone else is getting progress updates as needed.
My working hypothesis here is that, when there is someone that the team trusts to do that, it will ultimately reduce the level of overcommunication and design-by-committee. Everyone feels more comfortable focusing on their immediate work, and limiting their active participation in things that don't require their active participation, because they know they'll get the memo.
