This is not about who is the “adult” … it’s about creating an environment for success given the expectations of the job. Technical roles like a true principal at a high level require deep concentration and focus … being interrupted every 15-30 minutes to attend a meeting, answer a phone call, strategize a political response, respond to a slack message, handle complaints from critical clients, attend budget meetings, create reports, etc. is not the right environment.
