Honestly, this is the real underrated trick. A great manager removes blockers. Their job is first and foremost to get shit off the train tracks.

I had a manager who wanted to know what we did. Understand it. Really get into the info, because only then could she really lead us, she thought.

Worst manager I had for a long while. She didn't understand anything and was easily annoyed by it. We were software engineers, she some media marketing whatever person. That ain't gonna happen.
