This is the second time someone disagrees with your view, provides a well written response, and you respond back with a personal attack.

I can try to steel man the other side of the argument, even though I disagree with it. nothing in your comment is a coherent, reasonable response to the op.

I’m not a gate keeper of this community but please share nuanced ideas to defend your view point. For the second time now, stop the personal attacks.

according to who? yourself?

Maybe you haven't grown, maybe your self assessment skill is just poor?

Execs control destiny. Mid level managers can influence direction and provide a strategic and tactical vision on how to get there, but they have little control.

”I’m not good at X so better to control people who do X because that somehow lets me have a better quality of life and people will have to bow to me.”

Hallmarks of an incompetent manager who is way in over their head. I question if I want this person as an IC, unless I can fit them into a role where they sit in a corner and can provide value while leaving everyone else alone. That attitude has potential to bring down an entire team.
