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 .
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.
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.
