This. The state of leadership training in our industry is abysmal. Most managers I've met get little to no training when they transition to leadership roles. It's slightly better in larger companies, but as you say - a stark contract with military

There’s the little issue that most formation are cargo cult crap. They’re teaching you some kind of method or canvas, but not much more - and cost a lot.

Good formations exists, somewhere. But they’re well hidden.

FWIW IC training is also bad. You can have a career just winging it (having done so myself) and any standards of competency are left to individual teams/companies or simply who you chose to imitate

I agree, but ICs winging it have less potential negative impact compared to managers winging it.
