Curiously Hitler was an abysmal manager *on purpose*. It is a well known ploy of people at the top of the power tree to assign overlapping responsibilities to their underlings so that they spend a great deal of time on internal turf wars to gain power over their peers - which distracts them from forming alliances to depose the obergruppenfuhrer.
Truly great leaders don't feel compelled to do this.
I was called in to a Sunday meeting with a Building Society which was migrating and merging the IT systems of a rival which it had taken over some years earlier.
The PM was so tired he could barely walk. He had worked every day for 18 months, with 1 and a half days off. I made sure I never banked with them. It also brought home the importance of holidays and
weekends.
The big and little cores use a different doping process, so the little cores are optimised for low leakage currents. It seems likely that there is only a single process at 14nm, so there is less to be gained from
having a little processor on the die. They can still reduce or stop the clocks to save power.
