> I don’t respect folks who are incompetent without their admins

Yet this is exactly what the article is proposing.

If you don't do, say, Powerpoint, with enough frequency, you are effectively incompetent at it. Insourcing this to an admin practically guarantees you will be incompetent at it.

Steve Jobs had Apple create iPreach (Keynote) because Powerpoint wasted so much of his time ...

It’s a matter of degree. There are things that someone can do from a skills standpoint, but shouldn’t from a priority standpoint. (For many execs PowerPoint is in this bucket)
