- dbcurtis 2y agoHa ha, yes, that does happen. Usually with poor results. But... I have seen the opposite case, a person who had great organizational and people skills, and bench skills that were an utter disaster -- but was self-aware enough to realize they needed to be more "hands-off". It turns out that they were self-aware enough to appreciate those bench skills in other people, and good at doing the other things needed to keep a shop productive. I admit, though, this is not guaranteed to happen.
