"if everyone wants to be a leader, who's going to follow"

I see that a lot with our interns. A lot of them are trained and motivated to "lead", "facilitate" and "collaborate" but not so much about doing actual work.

But it's no wonder when you look at the way things work in most companies. Managers make way more money than non-managers. And a lot of managers didn't cut it as software engineers so they got pushed into management where they suck too but make good money.

This culture is heavily promoted by management consultancies, who seem to think nothing of sending a 24 year old "consultant" into large corporations to tell them how to run their business.
