A comment on Management things I learned at Imgur. Parent comment
As a manager, you should set yourself the goal of making yourself superflous. Just don't ever have the illusion you'll achieve it.
Human beings are way to messy and irrational for that, even the highly motivated and generally easy to manage ones.
Oh, and BTW: highly motivated and talented people tend to be very hard to manage.
