Wonderful summary of a great manager (hopefully you are not a manager:) .. In practice, what % of managers would fit the bill as you described (esp. in larger firms) ?

This is not necessarily a bad thing unless it's some kind of issue that requires a doctor's attention. Most people are in the rat race of this materialistic life and do not even get time to think, let alone find meaning and purpos

Ok don't get me wrong, agile dev has its benefits but usually its not used properly especially where I have worked in past. Project managers just care about completing features in days , when in fact the analysis and design of such fea
