I&#x27;ve worked with a number of highly motivated managers trying to carry the entire team on their backs. Pushing everywhere they see a weakspot, or trying to drag the entire team in a certain direction. Just hammer on everyone until you make diamonds. The Steve Jobs approach. Certainly that method can work, but it is not my preferred approach. It&#x27;s a huge time commitment, and you have to count on yourself <i>always</i> knowing what&#x27;s best for the entire team.<p>Personally my philosophy towards management is all about humility and logistics. Get the right people in the right roles, and supply them with the right tools. Combine that with the humble approach towards things like credit for accomplishments and project ownership. Then suddenly you don&#x27;t have to push any more. You don&#x27;t run around telling everyone what they need to learn, instead they all teach you in their area of expertise. You give them the cover they need to go out and learn more in their own way. Instead of running around teaching, let them ask you (or each other).
