Thanks. I like the concept seeing management tasks as multiplying the team's output beyond individual contributions. That has a lot of value.
I'll focus on the technical career stream, even though that's not that clearly defined in my company.
Note however, I think a bit of management is inevitable as you become more senior. Being senior means you often have the knowledge and expertise to multiply your team's output through interactions beyond individual contribution. By this I mean, bringing senior expertise to the table when planning, being part of the long term strategy and roadmap discussions, involving the team, seeking out contribution for your projects, etc.
