I'm not a PM, but you are exactly the kind of PM I love to work for.

So many PMs are either over bearing or scared to make decisions; or, the worst, that do both, over bearing and micromanaging all the time and then blames the team when their decisions back fire.

If a PM has time to micromanage the engineers, something has gone seriously wrong in that organisation haha

Interesting that you mentioned working “for” a PM. I do believe a healthier relationship is driven by working “with”.
