As someone who's spent a lot of time coaching new EMs, I agree with these bullet points. The thing that makes me sad is that this is only correct if the EM's director agrees with it. The true bullet point of what is expected of an EM: whatever the EM's boss expects.

I'm currently writing down a lot of the management lessons and coaching I usually give new directors as they learn their craft. It's mostly for my own sanity during startup building, since I miss coaching, but thinking of publishing it. There's a lot of EM guidance out there, but it's lacking for directors.
