And these managers need to report to them, not the other way around.
Truly great things either way, but an order of magnitude more accomplishments which is noticeable.
Kind of like a real rock star who is the one that hires the manager, even though the manager will be the one outlining and scheduling the grueling tasks for the performer, which the performer will adhere to as if the manager was his actual boss, except with none of the disadvantages.
