Pros

- Learn how to build out really strong/solid processes - Approach problem solving like a consultant - Always approach conversations prepared w/ logic - BW makes people great at arguing

Cons

- Simple things are extremely hard to accomplish because of the nature of the conversations - The principles are great, but get misused for others gain - Lack of expertise in management - they want to hire subject matter experts but don't know how to train, provide mentorship or growth - bc none of the managers have been in the same roles as their team - very low ceiling in most roles
