    The best managers, leaders, and mentors I’ve ever had started as engineers and could hold their own in a technical capacity. The second best are non technical, but value their team members and provide air cover for them to do their best work.

    The worst are career middle managers that overcompensate their lack of knowledge and usefulness by spewing bullshit like this to get over their well deserved imposter syndrome.

    If you’re a “leader” I can promise that your team despises you and you absolutely crush their productivity. They aren’t successful because of you, they’re successful in spite of you.

    And don’t even get me started on Six Sigma Babysitters.
