Yes, mnanagement of that type of employee can be a definite issue. Depends on the type of the manger too. Top-down, command-and-control managers go nuts in this arrangement. Delegator managers do fine as long the employee ultimately comes through and perhaps gives updates occasionally. Yep, there is a fine line between off-the-rails cowboy and disciplined, independent contributor. It's why it's typically harder to be the Questioner/Rebel type early on in one's career (at least as an employee).
