@WizeYou're absolutely right. The only people that move up to management are the workers who are good at their job and terrible at managing. Thereby creating an even more inefficient company with no good workers and poor managers.

In one respect, the PHB is right: a big part of leadership *is* guessing. Sure, not every boss guesses quite as wrong as the real PHB, but some of them are pretty damn close.
