    I think we can raise the standards a little higher. Yes, social skills and general maturity are good, but what about some understanding of the actual business and work. I understand they don't need all the details but to make sensible decisions they do need the big picture. It would also be nice if you could have a conversation without immediately translating anything said into abstract time spent. Sometimes there are risks, sometimes there are long lasting consequences that aren't obvious now. All abstracted into 'story points' or something like that because you'd rather deal with a numerical fiction than the nuances your subordinates have to actually deal with.
