Is this good advice? I understand that that's the kind of boss we as ICs want, but from my observation, managers like that do worse than your typical career-oriented brown-noser who doesn't care at all about their reports.
- BamFord 4y agoNo, not really good advice. At least too pithy to be complete. The real meaning is that your career will take care of itself as a byproduct of focusing on these other things. It's not the endgame, not a worry, and certainly not an obsession - recipes for failure actually. The most effective focus rather is on personal improvement - i.e. Virtue - i.e. Strength aligned in Serving your stakeholders (team, executives, both sides, etc).
