This is a good direction. To boot, I think ES is the best way to remove administrative work from EM's and IC's plates. Further, I also think that EMs need to then become more technical aka a real "leader" of the services they are responsible for. So hiring, firing, perf, BS meetings becomes only 5% of their job. 95% of their job is to ensure that services keep running and projects get delivered - like a true leader. ES can help them and ICs with administrative tasks like HR follow ups, OKR tracking, meeting scribing etc. I can't believe how much work is being done by low level EMs and ICs in tech companies. It is almost exploitative in one way.
