This is all fine and good but it's not the real issue IMHO and it comes off a little bit like salesman like (sign up for the cure).

The real question we should be asking is:

"Why don't bad managers help people achieve their goals even though they know it's better for everyone including themselves."

Thom,

You're absolutely right. I wrote the post with the hope of getting to do some customer development interviews with those interested in what I wrote about.

Soft skills are a funny thing; to succeed as a leader/manager you need them, but it's hard to quantify strength and weakness in them.

I have some ideas for a product but didn't want to make the post about the solution.
