All managers make mistakes; good managers acknowledge and repair

I think the problem is that there's a difference between a good manager and a manager who keeps their job.

The incentive is more strongly aligned with the latter one than the former one.

I'm going through a bit of a phase at the moment, so I'm biased. It's "show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome".

I used to find that an interesting idea, not sure if true or not. Nowadays a few years later, I'm almost hyper focusing on it, because I'm noticing that it is mostly true. Like, there's some room for individuality but when things _matter_ (e.g. livelihood, etc.), then the incentive seems paramount for most people.
