Fact: everybody wants a 10x programmer but nobody wants to be a 10x manager.

Also, dealing with a skilled programmer is not just a matter of top-down policy: a 10x programmer may have a different opinion about tools and processes and will not be happy on simply conforming - as opposed to the programmer who doesn't know better.

How would one go about becoming a 10x manager? Like, what would that person accomplish?
