We’ve all seen the corporate disaster of tossing a technical expert into a leadership role they aren't equipped for, only to watch them micromanage the code and crush their team. In this episode, former military helicopter pilot and current founder of Spec-C Technologies, Casey Sprague, exposes why trying to be the smartest person in the room is a guaranteed path to project failure. We tear apart the delusion that your $10,000 all-hands meeting is productive, dissect the glaring red flags of AI-generated busywork, and confront the harsh reality of corporate layoffs forcing PMs into fake consulting roles. Stop hiding behind your massive, bloated software files that don't actually let you plan, and learn how to actually run a team by checking your ego and admitting what you don't know.
