I only agree with the last point. There are many occasions where a group of specialists need to work together and there’s no way to find a project leader who can do what each of them can do.
The biggest thing about leadership is making sure the people you’re leading know that you’ve got their backs.
Great point my friend and I agree. “Project Leader” and a supervisor are two very different roles. I should have clarified that in the original post’s language.
I guess what also plays a factor is what industry the leader/supervisor is in. I was referring to the Fire/emergency service industry in particular. Again I should have specified that.
I think your original post was correct in contexts where it’s plausible to have done everything you expect the people you’re leading to do.
Yes that’s what I was thinking yet I didn’t articulate that (my bad). In the fire/emergency service industry as you get promoted and earn rank you would have done, or have been expected to have done everything your subordinate must do.
