> People can be good at critical aspects of their job while lacking the maturity to understand large group dynamics. I agree with this as a general principle, but in this specific case, the 'understanding group dynamics' part is the 'critical aspect of the job' part. By the same token, you don't just promote the best engineer to CEO if he's bad at managing, because the managing is the critical part of the job.
