I don't think a decision like this is made by "most managers". This is probably a CEO decision.

  This is a one size fits all "solution" designed at the top. That's all I am saying.

  That makes sense. Sunar Pichai is no coder like Jeff Dean or Sanjay.

> in Google most managers would be former engineers former engineers - that is, they no longer want to be an engineer, but chose the management path. It's quite likely that engineering work is merely a stepping stone for someone like that who intends to advance their career in the management track. I would expect an over-representation of extroverts in this category. Introverted engineers remain engineers because they like the work, and are only forced out when the pay no longer match their output (but can not move up any more due to the engineering track being "ceiling" compared to the management track).
