Episode notes

When the map becomes the territory, that's when you're in danger. I had a tweet that talked about how I actually, kind of like structure some of my thinking about my own life.

Eiso and Jason discuss how engineering leaders can fall into the trap of midwit thinking (the infamous bell curve meme) where they have a surface level understanding of complex topics and use buzzwords to sound knowledgeable.

Why do managers become overly obsessed with specific tools? Why do companies encourage this behavior? What should leaders really be focusing on? Listen and find out!
