The problem is that what makes a good manager for an IC does not make a good manager for the manager’s manager. They are fundamentally at odds unless you have servant leadership from the top down. (Which is nearly unheard of)

I disagree. What are you thinking of that’s at odds with it?

The only thing I can think of is MBA disease. But that’s rent seeking not productive management techniques.
