The article is pure "Management/Leadership Speak" nonsense complete with contrived/farfetched analogies and blaming of Engineering/Engineers for actually delivering something but which may have been "Strategically Wrong" because somebody else made that decision. Engineers are told to "Execute" and not "Strategize" (which means everything and nothing).
Given the responsibility, most Engineers are fully capable of Strategizing/Prioritizing/Executing on an Idea/Customer requirements so this insidious idea that Engineers are incapable of "Higher Managerial Functions" needs to die.
