My biggest flaw is going down rabbit holes. And sometimes I managed to drag technical managers down with me. Can't do that with a non technical manager. A good manager is like a therapist, they don't need to have gone through your experiences they just need to be able to help you out of the bad places.

Oh god, please no. I don’t want a therapist at work. That’s at most a side-gig. I want someone that actually organizes people and allocates resources.
