You mean like ordering the $700 program when the $90 program works just as well?

Partly correct.  IT management, like all management, is a process.  You
should empower the staff, but you are also to protect the resources of the
business from users who are little too empowered and act foolishly on the
company's dime.

A good IT manager will balance both, but at the end of the day, you answer
to the management, not to the staff.
