Incompetent Managers
Whether you have any pretensions of becoming a “Manager” or otherwise, the following post will probably be widely recognised by many in senior positions, and hopefully will be helpful to either those that aren’t or want to be. I doubt that the points mentioned are restricted to just the Technology industry.
I’m currently classified as a “Manager” in that I have leadership responsibilities, though prefer to roll my sleeves up and make sure I am contributing significantly towards results, as well as guiding those around me to help them make the correct decisions. I guess I prefer the term “Leader” and the connotations that brings with all the differences between the two titles.
