With the short term cost cutting view of the past decade (or two?) career managers are gone. What we have left are player-coaches - who are more focused on their day job than their teams.

Thank you for your input!

2. When will people decided to accurately self-assess and follow their actual talents?

I don’t know the answer to those. But I think they are the right questions.
