I especially like your "demon" metaphors. <br /><br />As a software project manager (and manager of project managers) who was once a very good coder, I am certainly aware of the temptations. It seems to me that the key is to avoide the "Dilbert's Manager Demon" ... the one that says "Everything I don't understand is easy."<br /><br />It is <i>very</i> easy ... especially as a project begins to have real success ... to forget that as the PM you may have the best view of the overall direction, but somebody knows more than you do about everything (even if that takes several somebodies).<br /><br />http://hither-and-yon.blogspot.com/Austin Bobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01592546327943832367noreply@blogger.com
