Management is fishing; mentorship is teaching people to fish

This should be a blog post because it's a thing that management is willfully blind about.

Not every manager is a leader but every leader must find some way to manage and mentor people to their greatest collective success.

Management is demanding other people set up the fishing gear and complaining when enough fish is not caught. Management also requires paying the fisherman, sorry the "recourses" the least amount of money possible because all that matters are the shareholders and next quarter.

Mentoring is teaching people why fishing makes sense and the best ways to do it with the materials at hand.
