A poor learner/insecure manager will be like that. If you have any brains, you learn from your workers who are specialists in things you don't have hands on knowledge of. In construction (I am an electrician) the general contractor "coordinates the trades". S/he doesn't need to have ever wired a circuit or run a plumbing waste line, but does need to seek input from each of the trades in order to get the project built with the fewest conflicts and mistakes. It is true that I sometimes say that the architects shouldn't get a license until they have done actual construction work, but in fact I have worked with some who understand the issues without ever having used either a hammer or a screwdriver. And, no surprise, those architects also tend to imagine more beautiful/useful designs. |
