I don’t know if Paul G has ever been a leader of a large organization, but he gets it wrong when it comes to managers. Managers and executives need deep work time as well, they just have higher demands to context switch more frequently than ICs. If you do go into management, learn to protect enough time for deep work, you need it too. Edit: "They generally prefer to use time in units of half a day at least. You can't write or program well in units of an hour. That's barely enough time to get started." This right here is frankly bullshit, and it's wrong on two levels. 1. You absolutely can get into coding or writing in chunks of less than half a day. Second, thinking strategically as a leader is just as hard to get into as coding and/or writing. Leaders/managers have the same challenge, they just have busier calendars.
