You can’t directly manage more than a half dozen people, up or down. If you’re in a place with heavy management, that’s something you need to work with.

Your key objective is to get people in place to operate independently. You need empower your people so they are managing the projects.

If you’re doing a lot of heroic tasks, especially in a bigger org, you’re approaching the ceiling in terms of advancement and ultimately doing a disservice to your people.
