Aside (and this is not meant as a rebuttal), it’s interesting to me that nobody denies that managerial roles only have so many “slots” (e.g. can’t have 5 CTOs or 7 VPEs, or Directors managing teams of 2 people), and yet, nobody decries the lack of opportunities for those in the management track.
- taeric 4y agoMe thinks you just don't listen to enough people complain? :D I've certainly heard those complaints. More than a few times. Now, I'm fully onboard with what I think I read as part of your main point here. Management is a skill and it can be funny how few folks in the non-management world will acknowledge that. You can see similar with coaches. And it seems to be human nature that we love building a hierarchy up to a single point. Even in very distributed organizations.
