Yes, because what happens is when you're a young engineer, young finance person, you do really need to be technically competent. That's what you get paid for. But every time you get promoted, that technical competence becomes less and less important. You can't rely on technical expertise. More and more, you have to be a leader. You have to focus on behavior. You have to focus on people.
It's not about you being the expert. It's about them being the expert. It's not about you being the winner. It's about them being the winner. This is a very difficult transition to make. It's hard to make that transition between I'm smart, I'm wonderful, I'm special, and you're smart, you're wonderful, you're special.
Excellent example that really an accountant is not a bad person. They should just be an accountant. Yes. As long as you're an accountant, they're great. But they shouldn't be in a leadership role. That's not what they're getting paid for.
