  That doesn’t explain why leadership is valued more.

  That’s an argument for both existing. Without leadership the expertise won’t be harnessed, without expertise, leadership means nothing.

    Putting it this way, project management is a skill that requires expertise. Lots of Laborers have the expertise to be the subcontractor, not all of them succeed at being the contractor/foreman.

    The majority of disfunction in workplaces seems to be that the middle managers don’t have the skills to be there either or they’d have probably been promoted up the ladder even further already

    I agree that exec compensation is nuts and most exec leaders arent all that unusually skilled.

      That’s not what I’m saying there at all…
