I am more and more convinced that software developers need people who used to run tv shows (show runners) rather than people who worked for banks as managers.

I am more and more convinced that software developers need people who used to run tv shows (show runners) rather than people who worked for banks as managers. Also, what demented message does it send to your team that you trust them so little that you need to delay surgery rather than let them handle something? I regard this as a failure to lead or paranoia of others getting noticed.

I'm curious about that showrunner bit. Would you like to elaborate?

  I think someone who is used to putting together a product using creative people would do better as a manager for a software project than a person who see all the developers as numbers or cogs.
