- jdbernard 6y agoNot everyone has the disposition to teach and lead.
- sli 6y agoBefore we even get to disposition, some folks simply do not want to do those things.
- duxup 6y agoI didn't say it outright but I picked this guy as an example as ... hey ABSOLUTELY did not want to lead anyone / should not lead anyone. Very much the high performer type who SHOULD NOT 'progress' to management or supervisor or ... reviewer of any sort. He was professional, but "prickly". I found the keys to get along with him but a lot of folks didn't have the patience.
- riku_iki 6y agoIf he doesn't want, it is one story. Another story may be because he may not be promotable to such position because of mentioned "prickly" behavior, which may or may be not just engineering honesty and straightforward approach in contrast to bs(sugarcoating, ass kissing, exaggregating, sweeping dirt under carpet, etc) culture established in many companies.
