I think this is a result of the persistent flawed way most companies look at management. The author points at it when he says that most managers are strong in execution, and that's true — it's viewed as the baseline trait for any manager. But execution and maintaining well-being are fundamentally in tension, and most of the time, execution wins if a choice is forced. I think we need to be splitting the role into ones focused on each of these competencies. This sometimes happens informally as it is, but making it formal would change the hiring patterns and maybe lead to better outcomes for everyone.
