I had a stint as a manager in my company at which i miserably failed. Team started leveraging technologies I didn't understand and some developer suddenly develop consistent passive aggressive attitude toward me which i had to deal with. Upper management eventually scrapped the project and critisized choice of technologies to build the project. I survived. Then my manager gave me a budget to hire outside consultants to do project. I greatly succeeded in that because i didn't have to play politically correct diplomacy and follow infinite "proper" BS processes, standups, babysitting team, sprints, do agile scrum crap, etc... Basicaly i found consultants, negotiated rate to fit available budget and told them to do shit or else. They came back with shit done. I reported to my boss that shit is done and ready for more. Rinsed and repeat. Skunkworks does wonders.
