Every industry is full of non-technical hills that people plant their flag on. What is yours?
(The other post was technical hills. I changed the question to non-technical.)

I work in IT and the worst thing to deal with is a manager who is also a super tech. Techs need to do tech and managers need to management .
It depends.
My issue right now is having to supervise “tech” equivalents and they get caught off guard because they try to do shortcuts that they think they can get away with and I point out how those shortcuts break what they are trying to do.
Agreed. I’ve worked with/under great managers both with and without IT or tech background, and what they both have in common is that they left the IT/tech to the ones in IT/tech roles.
In fact, it took me two years of working with one of them to learn by accident they had an IT background, lol. All along I had been using layman’s analogies to explain what was the problem, what was needed, and why, when I could have just explained it straight.
I’m going into software project management and have a ComSci education and development expertise. I’m starting to look forward to getting everything dumbed down for me just for me to ask a highly technical follow up.
