Maybe that can be modeled in the game. If you start out with a green crew they come to you (CO) with every piddling problem. As your crew matures, issues are handled further down the chain.
Actually not a bad idea, and one that is reflective of real life. For example, at one point I had 120 staff reporting through 7 team leaders reporting to me. With the more experienced team leaders, a quick daily morning chat was all I needed to know that everything was under control. With the less experienced team leaders, I had to spend time going through their issues, providing advice, assistance, mentoring and so on--exactly as I should I hasten to add--but still taking me away from my main duties. Over time they improved and my "hands on" involvement with their teams decreased.
