Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise?

Are you just unlucky in your experiences? Expert team leads can absolutely make as much as managers.

But there’s a convergence as you spend more and more time making decisions and directing others that you will effectively be a manager.

I used to scoff at the idea of “leaders” until I experienced good leadership and learned the difference between lead and manage.

I suspect a lot of people here think they mean the same thing.

Here’s a point though; to build vertical experience as an expert I’m starting to suspect that one would be less subject to changing companies.

Whereas leaders have no need to stay in place and change more often.

And one typically increases their compensation package much faster via changes of employer.

Just my thoughts contemplating that I just reached the low bar on my function band as a coe lead after 8 damn years into the function. Loyalty isn’t rewarded.
