Quoted context

These are the quoted author’s words.

The skill that Theo is implicitly describing in this essay is quite hard to do well: management. In business schools we have a whole department devoted to it (I work and teach in one). A large fraction of people will soon find themselves going from solo work to managing whole teams. Knowing when to hand off to whom, how to communicate instructions, delegating leads and followers, establishing flexible hierarchies—it’s a completely different skill set than what most are used to, but it’s worth putting in time to figure it out.
