I’m not a good leader.
I just don’t like following stupid people.
That’s why I would never have any interest in working under a “book smart” manager.
So for better or for worse I’m in a position where I don’t have to work under people that aren’t qualified for their positions.
Power Engineers have “Certificates of Competency” they do not have red seal trade qualifications.
In the field of Power Engineering there are people who can memorize steam tables and codes, but who don’t really understand which end of the screw driver they should be holding or how to rebuild a pressure reducing valve.
And when it comes to building automation, it’s very hit and miss as to their skill levels and their desires to learn.
And for the remainder of my time on this planet I have absolutely no intention of working under a book learner that has absolutely no common sense nor the ability to work with their hands.
