What exactly do you mean by "socially prepared for"?
- stagbeetle 10y agoA lot of engineers have never held a position of leadership in any respect. As well, they're stereotypically tech-focused, rather than people-focused. This makes them less prepared for the stress and less in-tune with the emotions of others, i.e socially unprepared to be leaders.
- kchoudhu 10y agoAcculturation takes time, which HR and upper management is pyschopathically unwilling to provide. They're too busy moving fast and breaking shit.
- stagbeetle 10y agoIs complete acculturation practically possible? It seems that all cultures have foundations that never go away. How about partial acculturation? Has it successfully been done before? Has a company ever managed to completely change their inner workings without becoming something unrecognizable?

Upper management's pervasive refusal to pay anything more than token lip service to this standardization makes 99% of technology organizations a political hell to work in.
