Ask HN: What are your tips on becoming a better manager? - serbiruss

The most powerful feature of a team of creators is their idiosyncrasies. The
best way I found to build something as a team is to adapt the work to the
strengths of the individuals.

Job titles squash the peculiar strengths and differences into a label and make
managers treat people as fungible units of work. Too many managers define the
work first and then assign it to the individuals, rather than define the work
_based_ on the individuals. It's very hard to make creators work on something
they dislike.
