I had a manager who wanted to know what we did. Understand it. Really get into the info, because only then could she really lead us, she thought.
Worst manager I had for a long while. She didn’t understand anything and was easily annoyed by it. We were software engineers, she some media marketing whatever person. That ain’t gonna happen.
Another 20% is keeping everyone else out of the way too.
Honestly, this is the real underrated trick. A great manager removes blockers. Their job is first and foremost to get shit off the train tracks.

Yeah. The one time you actually need a manager is when you have some fuck-up of a coworker who’s making things worse for everybody.
