- tptacek 3y agoPeople in general dislike being lead. Support them with management practices that allow them to lead while offloading ancillary burdens.
- avgcorrection 3y agoLeading in this context is a euphemism for management. That faux-egalitarian “could you X” (bonus points for upspeak).[1] For some reason it grinds my gears when people in formal positions of authority insist on talking about being a leader instead of a boss. [1] I’m all for pleasantries and being nice even though there really is no choice (ask/order). Don’t get me wrong. But not to the point where either party starts getting delusional about what’s going on.
