Steve Jobs was probably the best team builder in tech (and maybe business) history with Apple v1, NeXT, and then Apple v2 and he learned this lesson well. "We went through that stage at Apple where we thought, ‘Oh, we’re going to be a big company, let’s go out and hire professional management.’ We went out and hired a bunch of professional management; it didn’t work at all.

And you know what’s interesting - you know what the best managers are? They are the great individual contributors who never ever wanted to be a manager, but decide they have to be a manager because no one else is able to do as good job as them." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QplyFXgIx7Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QplyFXgIx7Q
