Hit your head against a wall several times and then go to work cleaning up any messes??
But seriously, it drives me nuts to work with people like this because I spend a lot of time thinking things through and planning before I go through with any idea so I can make sure that it will at least have some positive results rather than flying by the seat of my pants and keeping my fingers crossed. In a presidential position I suppose asking for updates on a regular basis can do a lot to satisfy your need for the details and can give you the opportunity to give feedback on what may or may not work. Open discussion with a group can do this without making it come from one person but it depends on how much time you have together. This will also encourage a person who doesn't typically think through all the details beforehand to do a little more planning. It's difficult to do that without micromanaging though.
