## What Jamie wrote

Good article for all engineering managers.

1. Still doing much technical work
2. Not giving (enough) holistic feedback
3. Doing all the project management
4. Not sharing enough information with the team
5. Not doing one-on-one coaching

I would comment that the first item is often for very good reasons, because the manager wants to help the team hit the goal. However, it can also be a form of avoidance, doing something you are comfortable with and avoiding something else that you are more uncomfortable with.
