So you think "good" management translates? I actually think it very much does. Clear expectations, providing right context and "the why", quick and clear feedback loops, intervening early when they are going off track, not micromanaging too much so they can actually accomplish more. It's all very similar.

Yes it very much does but managing humans is still very different.

Understanding your domain, setting clear expectations and understanding limitations and how much ambiguity your people/robots can handle are all good management techniques, they translate.

But the nature of working with an always-on flattery machine vs humans that can exceed your expectations while also being sources of infinite drama and frustration are still fundamentally different. The blind spot is being subsceptible to the flattery machine and forgetting how much you relied on good people challenging you. The benefit is, of course, not having to deal with humans.
