Quantum developers focus on
DOING THINGS RIGHT.
Newtonian managers focus on
DOING THE RIGHT THINGS.
To do things right, Quantum Developers must acquire deep understanding of the purpose, mastery of the craft and collective intelligence.
To do the right things, Newtonian Managers must develop the commitment to focus on the wildly important, the courage to discard the accessory, and the wisdom to distinguish between the two.
Quantum Developers and Newtonian Managers see the same world through a different lens, but those differences are necessary for the success of the whole. The interependencies between them are a space of opportunity as much as they are a source of frustration.
The gap between devs and managers is a feature, not a bug.
