So glad the term "hopes and dreams" was used. That's exactly how I describe half my staff level role. I move mountains to enable and materialize "hopes and dreams", or I destroy them without a sliver of doubt, in equal parts. That means doing at least all the things the post describes. But the other half was only lightly touched on. Staff is as much spearhead as it is rearguard. So that means caring for legacy codebases, aging tech, and anything else that's falling behind. It's search and rescue and postmortems after things have gone catastrophically wrong. Great great write up!
