> The most valuable thing management has taught me is how to communicate with precision when someone else’s work depends on it.

Ignoring the AI tells throughout the article for the moment, but I'm very surprised that someone who is a staff, staff+ level IC hasn't has to build this exact skill.

> When you’re an IC, unclear communication slows you down. When you’re a manager, unclear communication breaks your team. That difference in consequences makes you learn faster than you would any other way.

This is nonsense: unclear communication from me to my team absolutely breaks the team, despite being a staff+ and not an EM. Distinction without a difference.
