Engineers Are Happy in Role as Non-Managers

managing engineers can be satisfying or hell on earth, depends on the manager.

Following 'The Peter Principle' some people "...rise to their level of incompetence..." while others prefer the internal satisfaction of simply doing well within their "...level of competence!" and there's a huge diffence in their two differing skill-sets:

• Managers produce results through others, excel at "multi-tasking" others, are often "people" oriented, and prefer attention over personal goals.

• Non-managers produce results through their own knowledge and efforts, excel at single tasks, are often "thing" oriented, and prefer technical profeciency over attention.
