I once read that the value of a middle manager is to say “*you* should talk to *her* about *that*” at key moments. Because people often don’t realize they should talk to each other.
Typically, I told that to Dawn, who’d gotten sucked into an academic administration job¹. She, long practiced at “Brian Management”, politely informed me that she’d known and been doing that all along. https://hachyderm.io/@akareilly/112122041191792952
