I use the term "30,000 foot view" a lot: https://nanoglobals.com/glossary/30000-foot-view/

It appeals to me because if you've ever taken a flight you can see how the details get progressively erased as you lift. Details that matter for a lot of reasons even if you can't see them.

It's also called "vision". It's what provides and powers directions on large and long term scales. Those "simple" and "mundane step-by-step issues" are just chores by themselves, yet at the same time may become stepping stones in the context of a well thought vision that people buy into and rally behind.

"Far-mode thinking".
