Recently, John Cutler tweeted a chart on the view of management:
This was a rehash of work he did in 2019. I found this compelling because it breaks down the jobs of a manager in a nonprescriptive and visual way that made a lot of sense to me, even though some classifications felt off.
I will rearrange some of the specific choices to match my thinking:
There's enough here that you can feasibly spend 1 day a week on each job and still not have enough days in the week. Being able to share tips and systems (to reduce cost) and effectively multiplex (to improve responsiveness) is key to handle all these well.
